Price Transparency at Children's Hospital Colorado

If you believe you are having a medical or psychiatric emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

The information below can help you understand the charges you may see when you visit one of our emergency departments (ED).

Will I receive more than one bill?

Families typically receive two bills: one from Children’s Colorado and one from their provider(s). This is because many of our providers don't work directly for the hospital. Instead, they have privileges to practice at Children’s Colorado. The Children's Colorado bill covers clinical services such as nursing care, therapies, radiology, labs and more. The second bill covers the providers’ care. Most of our providers bill through CU Medicine.  

What do the Children’s Colorado charges, sometimes called a facility fee, cover?

The bill that families receive from Children’s Colorado will include itemized charges based on the level, and length and type of care provided to the patient. In the ED, it is based on how much care the patient needs on a scale from one to five and covers all clinical expenses that were needed to care for the patient, equipment and supplies, technology and physical space.

For more information, please read our billing guide for families.

How do you determine how much to charge on the Children’s Colorado bill?

Patients who need a higher level of care will have a higher charge. The charge is based on how involved the illness or injury is and the patient’s specific needs and resources required. 

A level 1 charge covers medical conditions that can be diagnosed and treated with very few steps. A level 5 charge is for patients who need the most complex care, including multiple tests and complex clinical interventions. It is important to note that the charge is not based solely based on a patient’s diagnosis. The services provided at the bedside and the coordination of care required by the specific patient’s condition could result in a different charge than another patient with the same diagnosis.

Average Children's Colorado (facility fee) charges

The information below does not apply to patients who have health insurance through Medicaid, other government programs, an employer, or the private insurance market. If a patient has health insurance, the amount the patient owes will depend on their plan and can include deductibles, co-payments and co-insurances. If you have health insurance, you should call your health insurer to find out what you would need to pay for services at Children’s Colorado.

A typical emergency department visit will incur other charges that are not included in the facility fee. You may see separate charges on your bill for services such as imaging, labs, procedures, pharmacy, and supplies. If you have questions about your bill, please contact Children’s Colorado’s Patient Financial Services team at 720-777-6422.

In compliance with federal health care price transparency requirements, Children's Colorado is required to post standard charge information that reflects potential prices associated with healthcare services. The following spreadsheets list prices for our services with associated code information.

Important considerations for these standard charges

It is important to note that these charges may vary from what is represented on a patient's bill for healthcare services. Charges may vary based on the circumstances at the time that the service is rendered. Charges are determined based on how involved the illness or injury is and the patient's specific needs and resources required (such as time with nurses and technical staff, special equipment and other services, only some of which occur at the bedside).

This information does not take into account patients with health insurance coverage through Medicaid, other government programs, an employer or the private insurance market. If a patient has health insurance, the amount the patient owes will depend on their plan and can include deductibles, co-payments and co-insurances. For the most accurate out of pocket cost estimate, please click here to get an online estimate.

If you have health insurance, you should call your health insurer to determine accurate information about your financial responsibility for a particular healthcare service provided at Children's Colorado.

Please note: Pharmacy pricing is subject to change.

Additional billing resources

When you see a doctor or specialist at Children's Colorado, you'll receive two bills: one from us and one from your provider or providers. This is because our doctors don't work directly for the hospital. Instead, they have privileges to practice at our hospital.

If you have questions about your bill, please contact our Patient Financial Services team at 720-777-6422.

In compliance with federal healthcare price transparency requirements, Children's Colorado is required to post a machine-readable file that reflects standard charges associated with healthcare services.

Notice:

The information listed in this machine-readable file is current as of Dec. 15, 2021 and published in compliance with the specific requirements of the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule (the “Federal Law”). All data is based on information we have gathered from our claims and insurance payment files. It is not a guarantee of the amount the patient will be charged or what the patient will owe. Your actual charges will be based on the chargemaster, which is updated from time to time, and will depend on the care that is provided to the patient. As a result, the information on the chargemaster alone will not provide the patient with the most accurate estimate for the patient’s out-of-pocket patient responsibility. The actual charges may differ from the information published here for many reasons, including but not limited to:

• Seriousness of the medical condition
• Duration of the care
• Services and supplies actually received
• Any complications the patient may have
• Additional tests or procedures the provider orders

If the patient has insurance, the insurance benefits will ultimately determine the amount the patient will owe to the facility (including deductibles, co-pay, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums). We strongly encourage the patient to consult with their health insurance company to understand the amount the patient may owe. The charges listed here reflect Children’s Colorado hospital fees only and do not include fees that are billed separately by the physician or other professional fees. For example, if an exam includes services by a physician, radiologist, pathologist or surgical assistant, you will receive a separate bill from those providers. Children’s Colorado is not responsible for any difference between hospital charges listed here and the hospital bill the patient may receive.
