BILLING
Financial arrangements

Payment policy
Texas Children’s Hospital will bill your health-insurance company for your child’s hospital stay. See our list of health plans accepted by Texas Children's Hospital. You will receive a statement for any portion that is your responsibility.

If your child is not covered by insurance, you will need to pay the bill or make payment arrangements before your child leaves Texas Children’s. You can pay by cash or check, or with Visa, Discover, American Express or MasterCard credit cards. Learn more about paying your bill.

Learn more about understanding your bill, or review our most commonly asked billing questions. You can download copies of our collections policy in English or Spanish.

Charity care program
Texas Children’s Hospital has specific policies that govern how we operate. Our Charity Care Policy and Admissions Policy use the Federal Poverty Income guidelines in determining eligibility for charity care.
