- Closure Notice — 2024-03-28 (CMS case 2065)
- Met Requirements — 2025-07-29 (CMS case 6001)

Charges are the hospital's list prices averaged over its 2024 Medicare cases; payments are what those cases actually brought in. Neither is what you will pay. For a planned procedure, ask the hospital for its price estimate or, if you are uninsured or self-paying, a good-faith estimate.
