Cost of Accreditation
JCI publishes an average fee of US$ 46,000 for a full hospital survey. Reimbursement for surveyors' travel, living expenses and accommodations is required in addition to the fee.
There may be additional costs related to consultancy work etc. directed towards assisting a hospital to be successful in the accreditation process.
Other international accreditors incur different levels of costs, some costing less than JCI.

“Oh high is the price of parenthood,
And daughters may cost you double.
You dare not forget, as you thought you could,
That youth is a plague and a trouble.”
