The Cost Estimator tool (MyChart - Patient Estimates) helps patients and families generate an estimate of the cost of a particular medical service based on your insurance coverage

  • Why are there different standard charge files?

    Each Children's Health facility, Dallas and Plano, has a file that includes a list of charges for all the items and services provided in the outpatient setting, and a second file that includes a list of all the items and services provided as part of the APR-DRG charge in the inpatient setting.

  • Does Children's Health provide an estimate of charges before services are rendered?

    Figuring out what health care is going to cost can be complex and confusing. There are several factors that affect a patient’s final bill, including treatment decisions, unforeseen complications, additional tests and services ordered by your physician, and the individual needs of the patient. At Children’s Health, we want to help you determine what your out-of-pocket cost may be so that you can make informed choices about your child’s health care.

    You can now create your own estimate for common procedures and services offered by Children’s Health.Please keep in mind that the amount calculated is an estimate, and that your actual out-of-pocket cost may be more or less depending on the care received and how your insurance company processes your claims. Estimates do not include the fees for those services provided by independent treating physicians, dentists, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, other health care practitioners, transport services and outside testing services. Independent provider fees will be billed separately. It is also important that you contact your insurance company to ensure that the services needed are “covered services” for your plan, and to better understand your coverage within your plan.

    If you are a current Children’s Health patient, you can create estimates for a future service or procedure through your MyChart account. Estimates will take into account your insurance information on file. If you are not yet a patient at Children’s Health, you can create a “guest” estimate online.
