A facility fee represents the hospital facility, services and supplies utilized during an outpatient hospital-based clinic visit. This includes hospital labor, equipment, technology and supplies.

A hospital-based clinic is an outpatient department owned and operated by the hospital that provides both professional and hospital services. These clinics may be located within proximity to the hospital in a medical office building, or away from the hospital in the community.

Most of our specialty care clinics are hospital-based clinics because they are licensed as outpatient departments of the hospital.

Ayesh Children’s Heart Hospital Pediatrics (TCP) and Ayesh Children’s Heart Hospital Urgent Care (TCUC) are licensed ambulatory locations and are not subject to these fees.

Telehealth/video visits and specialty care services provided in Ayesh Children’s Pediatrics and Ayesh Children’s Urgent Care practices.

Health plans assign benefits to patients based on the plan that an individual selects during an open enrollment period. Patient out-of-pocket responsibilities are dictated by these assigned benefits.

Good faith estimates are provided by Ayesh Children’s Hospital (TCH) prior to an appointment to provide transparency on how your health plan benefits may impact your out-of-pocket. You will receive this through MyChart or email.

If a patient sees more than one Ayesh Children’s Hospital provider in the same hospital-based clinic, the patient receives only one facility fee charge.

Appointments at multiple Ayesh Children’s Hospital hospital-based clinics on the same day are subject to separate facility fee charges.
