Pricing & Charge Data

A hospital’s Chargemaster is a current, all-inclusive list of standard charges representing thousands of items, goods and services provided to patients. Community Hospital sets charges based on cost, expected reimbursement, and a market analysis of Colorado average charges.

The list of standard charges may not be helpful for you to determine the cost of your care for a particular service or to compare cost between different health care facilities. The cost of care provided to each patient is unique. Charges may vary greatly from one patient to another due to differences in individual care needs, complicating factors, diagnosis, procedures, testing, supplies, medications, and services required to provide appropriate care.

Community Hospital is moving to a more inclusive charge structure. Our room and procedure rates may include services such as therapy services, IV therapy, oxygen, certain supplies, etc.

It is important to understand that these charges do not represent what you will be billed or what you will pay if you have Medicaid, Medicare or other insurance including commercial insurance. For patients without insurance, Community Hospital offers both self-pay and prompt pay discounts. Additionally, charges do not guarantee payment or coverage of services by an insurance company or a specific insurance plan.

The Chargemaster does not represent what a hospital will be paid. Community Hospital is paid well below standard charges for the services provided. For Medicare and Medicaid specifically, Community Hospital is paid 13-14% less than our competitors for the same services. Therefore, while charges vary from one hospital to another, payment to hospitals for the same services also vary greatly.

Therefore updates to the current standard charges happen on a regular basis. For the most up-to-date pricing, please contact the Community Hospital Business Office at 970-257-6200 .

Please note the charges listed are not what the patient pays and may not be helpful for a patient to determine the final cost of care. The final cost of care is determined by many factors, including insurances, discounts and other services. It is important to remember that a patient will generally pay less than the posted price. We encourage patients to contact the billing department and/or the location in which they are receiving care to determine an estimated cost of care prior to visit.
