Price Transparency Disclaimer
UAB Medicine recognizes how important it is for patients to have access to information about the cost of health care. We are committed to helping patients better understand and anticipate the costs of medical care and those that the patient is personally responsible for paying. The Standard Charge File represents UAB Hospital’s Charge Description Master, which is a global list of items and services for which a separate charge exists. By viewing or downloading the Standard Charge File, you agree to and understand the following:
- I understand that this list is for informational purposes only and is NOT an offer or promise of actual pricing for services, nor is it a representation of potential patient out-of-pocket costs.
- I understand that hospital charges are the same for everyone; however, a patient’s individual out-of-pocket costs may vary depending upon the services provided by UAB Medicine, the negotiated rate between UAB Medicine and the patient’s insurance provider, and the patient’s individual insurance plan and coverage terms.
- I understand that the prices for services listed on this page represent the typical standard charges associated with each hospital item and/or service and may not reflect the patient’s individual experience.
- I understand that the charges listed on this page represent hospital charges only and do not include charges for professional services provided by physicians, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, anesthesiologists, etc. These providers bill separately and therefore are not included in the hospital’s charges or bills.
- I understand that this information is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, medical or financial advice.
- I understand that reimbursement for service packages provided by UAB Hospital containing one or more service codes may not be cumulative in nature, and that final payment to UAB Hospital will be dictated by the guidelines set forth under a third-party insurance provider’s contract and/or applicable federal or state regulations.
