Standard Charges List (Machine-Readable File)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires hospitals to provide a public list of standard charges via the internet. These charges are presented in a machine-readable format, which is required by CMS. This file complies with the pricing transparency requirements for machine-readable files prescribed by CMS.

The standard charge information is not an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs for services at Seattle Children's. Your final cost will depend on your child’s treatment and your insurance coverage.  

To get the most accurate estimate of your out-of-pocket costs, please visit our Guest Price Estimate Tool or call 206-987-3333 to speak with a financial counselor. We will provide an estimate based on your services and your health insurance provider, including the specifics of your coverage plan.

  • Prices are updated twice per year, usually in April and October.
  • You may have more than one of the charges on the list depending on your child’s care needs.

Cost Estimates

The amount you owe depends on the insurance plan you have. Your cost is determined by your plan benefits including copaycoinsurance and individual and family deductible amounts, as well as the types of services your child receives. 

We can provide an estimate based on what we know about your child’s treatment ahead of time and other factors such as insurance coverage. If you have Apple Health (Medicaid), there is no cost to you.
