Price Transparency
Billing for health care services is complex. Just as no two people or conditions are exactly alike, the services required to treat them may differ as well. In addition, insurance plans vary widely, even within the same carrier.
We understand that knowing what your health care will cost is important to you and that knowing what to expect ahead of time can provide immeasurable peace of mind, so you can concentrate on what matters most - your health. That's why we're committed to cost transparency - the practice of providing you with as much cost information as possible, up front.
Price Estimates
Understanding the price of medical care can make it easier to plan for health care expenses. Patients who have scheduled diagnostic testing and/or procedures can use the Day Kimball Health Price Estimator Tool to get an estimate of anticipated services. Patients can also call our Day Kimball Hospital Patient Financial Services Department at (860) 963-3823 to speak to our Pre-Treatment Estimate Financial Counselor.

No Surprises Act – Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
- You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
- Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
- If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. - For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 877-696-6775.
