Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Additionally, if you are an existing or prospective patient, you can enter your insurance information (or self-pay) in the file below to see a range of costs for a specific service. This tool includes historical rates for all of our procedures, so individual circumstances may vary and is not a guarantee of coverage or out of pocket expenses. Please see the disclaimer section below, and as always, the best way to get information about an estimate is to contact the Patient Financial Services department at BMCPricingEstimates@bmc.org.

Follow the instructions within the “Instructions” tab and if you need any assistance please reach out to us at SelfPayInquiry@bmc.org.

Disclaimers

CMS requires hospitals to post this information, but please take note that these tools are for informational purposes and do not necessarily provide a patient with an estimate of out-of-pocket costs because:

  • Costs will vary based on patients' individual health circumstances – including other relevant health conditions, how long the services take to perform, and what medications are required.
  • These lists reflect hospital charges, and do not include charges for services provided by doctors and other providers (professional fees).
  • These amounts change frequently.
  • Patients may be eligible for financial assistance.

Your health plan can also help you to understand your insurance coverage, which charges will be covered, how much you will be billed, information on deductibles and your expected out-of-pocket responsibility.

    • Your Payer Specific Rate – the amount your insurance company agreed to pay for this service
    • Minimum Negotiated Rate – the minimum amount BMC is contracted to receive for this service across all insurance companies
    • Maximum Negotiated Rate – the maximum amount BMC is contracted to receive for this service across all insurance companies
    • Uninsured Rate – the amount an uninsured patient is expected to pay for this service
