Black River Memorial Hospital recognizes and respects patient rights. Patients become more informed and involved in their own care when they know their rights and responsibilities. Empowered patients ask questions and develop better relationships with their caregivers because they feel supported by the people directly involved in their care.

Black River Memorial Hospital participates in a health information exchange program through CommonWell Health Alliance and through the Wisconsin Statewide Health Information Network, Inc. It's your patient right that your secure health data is available to you and your providers, regardless of where care is needed. Learn more about this program.
Do you want to know how much a procedure, test or exam might cost you before you make your decision? Most people want to know the cost of their medical services, but don’t know how to access the information. Knowing the cost of a service up front helps you to make informed decisions about your health and care. In recent years, healthcare facilities have introduced programs to provide easier payment methods for patients. One program is called Point-of-Service Payment, and it consists of patients paying their portion of the bill at the time of service. Learn more about the cost of care.
You can get an estimate by calling 715-284-1375 or 715-284-1368. We review price estimates between 8 a.m. and 4:30pm daily and we will respond within five business days.
