Price Transparency Initiative Charges Listing

Machine-readable file

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all hospitals to publish their charge description master. To offer our patients more information about costs and charges, we share our price transparency file. This is a comprehensive listing of individual procedures, services, and items billable to a hospital patient or a patient’s health insurance provider. It is important to note the file does not reflect what a patient actually pays, but rather charges before specific variables, like insurance plans, are applied.

CMS requires all hospitals to share this document in the format provided here. We want you to be empowered with as much information as possible when making healthcare choices and planning for care – but we want you to understand there are many variables related to your specific care and your insurance coverage that are not accounted for here. You may use this document to become more informed. We also suggest our online price estimate tool and/or a call to our business office for a more personalized estimate for your care, and for you to better understand your individual care costs. These resources take into account information more specific to you.

When reviewing the price transparency file, remember:

  • While this document outlines standard base charges, and certain other information, these are not necessarily charges a patient will have to pay.
  • Every patient is unique, and actual payment is highly dependent upon a combination of factors.
  • Even for similar procedures at the same facility, what a patient actually pays may differ based on their insurance plan and other factors.
  • Cost is only one factor consumers should review when making healthcare decisions.  Outcomes, quality, and safety data, as well as personal experiences, should also be considered.
  • The machine-readable file is posted in the required format but may be difficult for the average consumer to download and read. This format is designed to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze large volumes of data. For a more consumer-friendly experience that delivers more personalized results, we recommend our price estimation tool on our Financial Aid page.
