BCH Offers Transparency and Convenience for Your Medical Bills

At Boulder Community Health (BCH), we understand how important it is to understand your health care options and the cost of any care that you may need. That’s why we make it a point to provide information and resources about pricing for common procedures and services offered at our Foothills Hospital and many primary care and specialty clinics around Boulder County.

With our MyBCH patient portal, you can easily find estimates on many BCH services to help you prepare before your procedure or health care service, even if you do not have a portal account. By using our convenient MyBCH Guest Estimates tool, you can explore estimates on:

• Commonly performed services and procedures
• Behavioral health services
• Cardiac Rehabilitation
• Clinic services
• Diagnostic cardiology (Clinics and Foothills Hospital)
• Hospital inpatient services (excluding surgery)
• Hospital outpatient services (excluding surgery)
• Inpatient surgery
• Lab services
• Outpatient surgery
• Physical/Occupational therapy
• Speech Therapy
• Vaccines
• Women’s Health

Please be advised that while BCH attempts to estimate the prices of care as accurately as possible, there may be significant variations between the prices listed and the actual price billed to the patient. BCH strongly encourages patients with health insurance to consult with their insurer to determine their financial responsibility.

We also offer competitive self-pay pricing for many medical tests (Imaging, Laboratory, Cardiology, Pulmonary, and Sleep Lab).

In accordance with federal hospital transparency requirements, BCH also provides cost information for "shoppable" services. A shoppable service is typically non-urgent and can be scheduled in advance, allowing patients to price shop and schedule at a time that is convenient for them.

Examples of common shoppable services include imaging and laboratory services, medical and surgical procedures and outpatient clinic visits. Click here to view/download BCH Shoppable Services.
