Price Transparency
Prices offered are estimates only
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) established guidance for hospitals to make available a list of their standard charges online.
At College Hospital, we know that health care can be an unexpected expense and that the cost of health care services can be a deciding factor for many people as they plan for care. Our hospital supports health care pricing transparency and tools that help patients and consumers evaluate what care is best for them and any related financial costs.
Hospital charges can help patients understand what the costs might be for certain health care services; however, they don’t provide a full picture of what patients will pay. Patients’ financial liability will depend on the full course of treatment and on the type of insurance coverage they have. Patient financial liability is determined by each individual insurance policy.
If a patient has no insurance coverage, College Hospital offers the following discounted rates:
| Inpatient Mental Health Treatment – | $985 per day, all inclusive | |
| Partial Hospital Treatment – | $240 per day** |
**In addition, patients will be charged per psychiatrist visit. Psychiatrist are not employees of the hospital and charge for fees separately from the facility.
We encourage all health care consumers to speak with their providers and their health plan to get a full picture of what they will pay. For our patients, we offer financial counseling for those experiencing hardship during any point throughout their care. We offer charity care applications for those who qualify based on the federal poverty income guidelines. In addition, we offer interest free payment plans for those patients who cannot pay the allocated patient liability in full. College Hospital is here to help you.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”
explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance and estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
- Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
