The levels, with level 1 representing basic emergency care, reflect the
type of accommodations needed, the personnel resources, the intensity
of care and the amount of time needed to provide treatment. The following
charges do not include fees for drugs, appliances, supplies or additional
ancillary procedures that may be required for particular emergency treatment.
They also do not include fees for Emergency Department physicians, who
will bill separately for their services.
Our price estimate rates reflect the amount a patient might pay if they take advantage of our Boulder
