We appreciate your choosing Cheshire Medical Center for your health care needs. We understand medical bills can be confusing, so we work hard to make your billing process smooth and easy to understand.
Cheshire Medical Center is a member of Dartmouth Health, so billing and financial assistance are handled through Dartmouth Health. However, Cheshire offers some assistance programs through our Center for Population Health, such as Family Resource Counseling.

Dartmouth Health will provide you with one bill for your services. This covers services provided by the hospital, such as your room and board charge and nursing care. It may also include services ordered by your provider such as X-rays, laboratory tests, medical supplies, and oxygen.
If you take part in a diagnostic imaging test, like an ultrasound or X-ray, you may receive two separate bills. One is for technical services (the test), and the other is for professional services (a physician's reading of the resulting image). Cheshire Medical Center contracts radiology services to Radiology Associates of Keene, which accepts payment directly.
