Understanding Medical Costs

Charge Description Master List

Charges shown on the charge description master list are for informational purposes only and are based on the service charges listed in our charge-description master as of October 1, 2023. Patient charges will vary depending on actual services provided.

Price Transparency

At CHKD, we understand obtaining financial information prior to health services is important. With the Payment Estimator Tool you'll be able to estimate how much services will be depending on information provided at the time of the estimate in an easy to understand way.

Provider-Based Billing

CHKD has moved to provider-based billing, a national billing model for organizations like CHKD that provide hospital-level care in a variety of locations throughout the region.

Balance Billing Law

Virginia's balance billing law went into effect in 2021. The law protects patients from getting billed by an out-of-network health care provider for emergency services at a hospital or certain non-emergency services during a procedure at an in-network hospital or other health care facility.
