Why we measure it - It is important to us, our patients and families that we provide the best care possible at a competitive price.
What this means - Children's Hospital charges are significantly lower per visit for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Liver Disorders compared to the national average while keeping survival rates high. This saves our patients and families money and keeps us competitive.

What we're doing to provide the best care:
- We provide medically necessary health care to patients in our service area regardless of their ability to pay.
- Several payment plans are available to families including credit card payment, a monthly payment plan, self-pay discounts and Charity Care. Financial counselors can work with families on choosing payment options.
Patients/Families:
- Bring your insurance card with you to your appointment so we can accurately file your claim for you.
- If your insurance plan requires a referral, make sure your primary care physician gives proper authorization for your visit to Children's Hospital.
- Understand that Children's Hospital clinics are not typical doctor's offices and your insurance might apply hospital outpatient charges to your deductible or insurance co-payment.
- Be prepared to pay your co-payment at the time of your visit.
- If your child was seen in the hospital or clinic, you might receive more than one bill. Children's Hospital bills for clinic staff, supplies, medical records, etc. The Medical College of Wisconsin bills for the physicians' services.
