CostGrade

Contact us

Report a data error, ask how a grade was calculated, or enquire about licensing the underlying dataset.

We cannot negotiate, review or settle your bill. CostGrade is not a referral service, takes no fees from hospitals and does not act on individual accounts. For a specific bill, start with the hospital's own financial assistance office and its billing department — and ask for an itemised bill first. Both are free, and both are more use than we can be.

Please do not include medical details or anything you would not want stored in an ordinary inbox.

Correcting a facility's federal record

We reproduce the CMS file exactly and cannot amend it on request. If a facility believes its record is wrong, the correction must go through CMS and the state survey agency. If we have made a processing error on our side, tell us and we will fix it and say what changed.
