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.

“History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the the movements of the world gave a chance for it.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Every new stroke of civilization has cost the lives of countless brave men, who have fallen defeated by the “dragon,” in their efforts to win the apples of the Hesperides, or the fleece of gold. Fallen in their efforts to overcome the old, half sordid savagery of the lower stages of creation, and win the next stage.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
