They re not exaggerating about the costs. The cost for specialty services are astronomical at UC health hospitals. You ll be charged $1400 for an ultrasound procedure that would cost under $500 at a freestanding location that s not attached to a hospital. I was scheduled to get an ultrasound, and I had to cancel that appointment and delay getting a diagnosis because I couldn t afford the astronomical costs. Their clinics are a different story. They re actually pretty good. Their clinics are good and cost effective and I m very happy with my physician at the Greenwood Village medical clinic. Do everything you can to avoid their large hospital locations, because they tack on a lot of extra fees, but you should be alright going with the clinics
