Facility Fee Notification
New York State Public Health Law 2830 requires hospitals to notify patients about potential facility fees that may not be covered by your insurance. Your upcoming service may include a facility fee, whether you are hospitalized or receive outpatient care in a clinic identified as part of the hospital. These fees may include charges for:
- Use of exam or surgery rooms
- Medications given in the hospital or clinic
- X-rays and other diagnostic tests
- Services provided by technicians, nurses, or other members of your healthcare team
- Room and care charges for an inpatient stay
- Any other charges that are not the professional fee for the services of licensed healthcare practitioners, such as physicians or advanced practice providers
The facility fees are billed by the hospital and would be included on your statement of services for any balance you may be responsible for. Outpatient clinics associated with UR Medicine hospitals, for which this billing process applies, are listed below for your convenience:
- Strong Memorial Hospital
- Highland Hospital
- St. James Hospital
- Noyes Health
- Jones Memorial Hospital
- Thompson Health
