Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Roswell Park Care Network were recently notified of a cybersecurity issue involving a vendor, UnitedHealth Group’s Change Healthcare — a healthcare technology company that provides revenue and payment tools. While efforts continue at a national level to address this incident, we are contacting you to make you aware of payment issues affecting some services provided at Roswell Park.
RPCI Clinical Practice Plan billing: If you received a Roswell Park bill before Feb. 21, 2024, payable to “RPCI Clinical Practice Plan" (see lower portion of bill) and have not yet paid, the system is out of service until further notice and we are unable to process your payment at this time. There will be no penalty or referral to a collection agency for late payments under this plan. Bills for ongoing appointments and clinic visits will not be issued for the short term. Patients will be instructed accordingly on how to make payments for these services once systems are operational again.
IMPORTANT: Outside of billing for those services, all other hospital service billings related to Roswell Park remain unaffected, and payment of all other hospital bills can continue as normal.

Charges for services
Roswell Park’s financial counselors are here to help. As part of our financial counseling, we can provide an individualized realistic estimate of the costs you are likely to face in connection with your cancer care. We also offer financial assistance and other programs that may help. Please call us at 716-845-4782.
To learn your estimated out-of-pocket charges for specific services, you may access the secure, cost-estimation portal below. If you use this tool, it’s important to note the following:
- These estimates are averages based on historical data from our patient database. Every patient’s care and requirements are unique. Your actual costs will be based on your specific needs and experience with us. We encourage you to call our Financial Counselors for assistance in further refining your estimate.
- Any change to your care throughout your course of treatment will likely change the estimated cost.
- Roswell Park offers financial need-based copay assistance programs. Please call us at 716-845-4782 if you need assistance with meeting your copayment obligations.
Inpatient hospital charges for services can be found on the New York State Pricing Transparency website. Please note there are limitations to this data and it must be used in the context of both quality and type of care delivered.
Affordable Care Act hospital mandates
United States hospitals are required to give public access to the list of hospital charges for items and services they provide. In compliance with this mandate, we have provided a link below to download the listing. Unfortunately, this does not accurately reflect what our patients pay because it does not take into account a patient’s health insurance arrangements, any financial aid, and state and federal reimbursable care support. If you have questions regarding your bill or would like to better understand cancer care costs for your treatment, please call Roswell Park’s financial counselors at 716-845-4782.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
During the pandemic the United States government has implanted the CARES Act. Section 3202 (b2) of the CARES act requires all providers to list the cash price for a COVID-19 Diagnostic test. In compliance with this mandate, please be advised the cash price for a COVID-19 Diagnostic test is $98.
Regardless if a patient has insurance coverage or is uninsured, this cash amount does not reflect what a patient will be required to pay for a COVID-19 test. New York state insurance companies are required to pay for testing and are not permitted to apply patient cost sharing. Financial assistance may be provided to patients in the unlikely event a patient incurs a bill for COVID-19 testing. If you have any questions regarding your financial liability for this test, please call Roswell Park’s Financial Counselors at 716-845-4782.
Non-Roswell Park providers
As a Roswell Park patient, you may receive treatment or services from providers that have privileges at Roswell Park, but are not Roswell Park staff. This means you could potentially receive an additional bill if the provider is not participating with your health plan. To check your coverage for a non-Roswell Park provider, please review the list and contact their office.
