Biggest Overcharges at This Hospital

These are the procedures where UCHealth University of Colorado Hospitalcharges the most compared to the federal fair-price benchmark. “They Charge” is what appears on your bill. “Gov. Benchmark” is what the government determines the doctor's work is worth.

Note:This hospital's published data mainly includes major surgical procedures.

The government benchmark shown only reflects the surgeon's fee, so the difference looks larger than it is for these procedures.
