Closure Notice — 2023-09-26 (CMS case 630)
Met Requirements — 2025-05-02 (CMS case 4243)

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.
