This is on a hospital invoice, and I've neve seen it before. I'm not sure what the English equivalent would be. Because it's an invoice, there is no other context. Thanks in advance!

agree  SJLD: certainly "cost" is the word to use in this context - and it is not necessarily the patient who bears the extra cost
