Charges for Services

Average charges are estimates; your out-of-pocket expense will depend on your individual insurance coverage (such as co-insurance or deductibles).

While Cheshire Medical Center (CMC) now encompasses both our hospital’s inpatient services and outpatient clinics, some of our billing charges remain separate. 

Uninsured patients are eligible for a 61.6% reduction of charges with Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Keene and a 64.3% reduction with Cheshire Medical Center.

Our myDH patient portal website provides estimates for services provided at Dartmouth Health. Estimates can be requested for individual procedures and may factor in your specific insurance to estimate out-of-pocket expenses. Learn more about myDH Estimates.

Additional charges: These charges represent those of Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Keene and CMC. There may be additional charges from other contract providers, such as radiologists and anesthesiologists, depending on the services you receive.

Machine Readable Hospital List of Standard Charges (CSV)

The information provided is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service or item provided by a hospital, also known as a chargemaster, which Cheshire Medical Center posts on an annual basis. Standard charges shown in the chargemaster do not necessarily reflect what a patient ultimately pays for services and therefore may not be a meaningful tool to estimate a patient’s out-of-pocket responsibility or to compare hospital costs. Actual charges may differ for a variety of reasons and Cheshire Medical Center does not hereby offer, promise, contract, guarantee, or assume any legally binding obligation to provide a selected service(s) or item(s) for the listed charge(s).

Because the chargemaster rates are updated periodically, patients should contact our patient financial services staff at 844-647-6436 for information about the cost of care.

This list does not necessarily reflect what a patient ultimately pays for services and therefore may not be a helpful tool to estimate out-of-pocket responsibility or to compare hospital costs. Actual charges may differ for a variety of reasons and Cheshire does not hereby offer, promise, contract, guarantee or assume any legally binding obligation to provide a selected service(s) or item(s) for the listed charge(s).
