CarePoint Health Bayonne Medical Center is a hospital in Bayonne, New Jersey. It has 278 beds and was founded in 1888. One of six hospitals in Hudson County,[1] the Bayonne Medical Center is affiliated with Hoboken University Medical Center and Christ Hospital,[2][3] which are also operated by the for-profit organization Hudson Hospital Opco.[4][5]

The hospital became the subject of media coverage in 2013[6] when, in the midst of nationwide controversy over inconsistent hospital charges, The New York Times reported that the hospital "charged the highest amounts in the country for nearly one-quarter of the most common hospital treatments", which the Times associated with its 2008 restructuring after being acquired out of bankruptcy the previous year.[7] In the same year, the hospital was ordered to award a "whistleblower" $2.1 million for being fired.[8]

According to a study conducted by National Nurses United and released in January 2014, the hospital was the 9th most expensive in the state, charging 763% above costs.[9]

Bayonne Medical Center entered the national spotlight again in 2014, when an investigative news team at NBC 4 New York reported that the hospital charged a New Jersey teacher nearly US$9,000 to bandage his middle finger.[10] In 2015 a follow-up investigation covered the story of a Bayonne resident who was charged over $17,000 for stitches on a two-inch cut.[11]

The sale of hospital and the property on which it is located has been a matter of controversy.[12][13] The city has considered eminent domain to settle the matter.[14] In March 2023 it was transferred to the non-profit CarePoint Health system.[15]
