Facility Fee Notification
Important information concerning possible fees for your care.
New York State Public Health Law 2830 requires hospitals to notify patients about potential facility fees that may not be covered by your insurance. Your upcoming service may include a facility fee, whether you are hospitalized or receive outpatient care in a clinic identified as part of the hospital. These fees may include charges for:
- Use of exam or surgery rooms
- Medications given in the hospital or clinic
- X-rays and other diagnostic tests
- Services provided by technicians, nurses, or other members of your healthcare team
- Room and care charges for an inpatient stay
Any other charges that are not the professional fee for the services of licensed health care practitioners, such as physicians or advanced practice providers. The facility fees are billed by the hospital and would be included on your statement of services for any balance you may be responsible for.
