Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Price Transparency Initiative

Beginning January of 2021, CMS required hospitals to post the payer specific negotiated charges for a list of the top 300 shoppable services, or provide patients with a price estimator tool. UH has chosen to provide patients with a hospital price estimation tool. To receive an estimate for services at UH Lake West Medical Center, UH TriPoint Medical Center or UH Beachwood Medical Center, start here.

CMS also required hospitals to provide a machine readable file of payer negotiated charges, de-identified maximum and minimum payer negotiated charges and the discounted cash charges. To access this set of charges, please access the links under “Machine Readable File” below.
