Price Transparency at Children's Hospital Colorado

At Children's Colorado, we are committed to consumer price transparency. It’s important to us that patients and families have the information needed to understand the cost of care within our system. The summaries below explain the process to schedule an appointment, receive cost estimates for scheduled services, and understand your bill:

Shoppable services and all services prices lists, including our machine-readable files

Federal and State healthcare price transparency regulations require that Children's Colorado publishes its standard charges in two ways:

One way is through a consumer-friendly display of shoppable services. Patients and families should use this online price estimator tool to create a personalized out-of-pocket estimate that takes into account the individual patient’s insurance information and can help you understand possible charges.

The second way is through a comprehensive machine-readable file that lists all standard charges for all items and services and certain corresponding data elements.  The links below include Children’s Colorado’s machine-readable files, published in compliance with the requirements and formatting prescribed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The information listed in this machine-readable file is updated annually.

Charges listed below and in the online price estimator tool are not a guarantee of the amount the patient will be charged or what the patient will owe. Actual charges will be based on the current chargemaster then in effect, which is updated from time to time. If the patient has insurance, the insurance benefits will ultimately determine the amount the patient will owe (including deductibles, co-pay, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums). We strongly encourage the patient to consult with their health insurer to understand their benefits and the amounts the patient may owe.

The charges listed here reflect Children’s Colorado hospital charges and facility fees only and do not include the professional fees that are billed separately by the physician or other health care provider. For example, if an exam includes services by a physician, radiologist, pathologist, or surgical assistant, you may receive a separate bill from those providers for their services.
