Hospital pricing

Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula strives to maintain prices for services that are comparable to those of other Northern California hospitals.

If you would like to get an estimate of the price of a procedure, we have two options available. The first option is to use MyChart. MyChart is a free user-friendly web portal that allows patients to see their medical information and estimate procedure prices and expected payments. Registration is not required to obtain an estimate. Just click the “Guest Estimate” button within the MyChart link below. The second option is to call the estimate line below.

• MyChart registration: www.chomp.org/mychart
• Estimate line: (831) 625-4715

We also provide an online listing of standard hospital charges and expected payments, as required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). That list can be found at the link below. It is important to note, however, that the expected payment amounts listed do not indicate how much of the payment are the patient’s responsibility vs. the insurance provider’s. Payments are affected by factors including negotiated health plan rates, fixed government rates, and cash-payment discounts. In addition, charges for physician services are not included in the list; Community Hospital does not directly employ the doctors who may provide service or care during hospitalization, so their charges are billed separately.

The list reflects charges as of January 1, 2021. They may have changed since then due to changes by supply vendors, new technology, added or eliminated services, etc. It also may be difficult to compare the charges with those of other hospitals, as different goods, supplies, or procedures could be included in a similarly named description.

Average charges for 25 common procedures

We also provide the average charge for 25 common procedures at Community Hospital. Again, these are charges, not necessarily what patients or insurers actually pay, and they can vary depending on many factors, as noted above.
