The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all hospitals to post a list of their standard charges — a Charge Description Master (CDM) — on the internet in machine-readable format and update that data at least annually. CMS intends for this information to help patients with improved information regarding price transparency.

As required by CMS’s Hospital Price Transparency Final Rule, the following is a link to a machine-readable file that includes: (a) the standard charges for the hospital’s shoppable services and items; and (b)  as well as a listing of individual payors that have negotiated rates with Buttonwood Behavioral Health Hospital.
