About Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a major pediatric healthcare system that offers comprehensive medical services for infants, children, and adolescents, including primary care, specialty care, surgery, and advanced diagnostics. One of its flagship outpatient facilities is the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care on the Philadelphia campus, which includes an associated parking structure often referred to as the Buerger Center Garage or Buerger Garage. This garage serves patients, families, and visitors coming for appointments at CHOP and nearby facilities on Civic Center Boulevard in Philadelphia.

A charge labeled "CHOP BUERGER GARAGE" or similar on your card statement almost always indicates a parking fee at the Buerger Center Garage on CHOP’s Philadelphia campus. Parking costs vary based on how long the vehicle was parked, and discounts or validations may be available for patients and their families through clinic or welcome desks inside the hospital and Buerger Center. Payments are typically processed at automated kiosks or exit gates and may appear as a one-time charge on your credit or debit card; in some cases you may first see a pending authorization that later adjusts to the final parking amount.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a CHOP Buerger Garage charge, start by confirming the date and approximate time of the transaction against any visit you or a family member made to CHOP’s Philadelphia campus. You can also check any parking tickets or receipts received at the garage kiosks. For unresolved concerns, contact CHOP using the main hospital numbers listed on their website and ask to be directed to parking services or patient billing; they can help look up parking transactions associated with your visit and clarify rates, validations, or potential billing errors. Bringing the last four digits of the card used, the transaction date, and the exact charge amount will help them investigate more quickly.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge labeled "CHOP BUERGER GARAGE" on my card statement?

This descriptor typically refers to a parking fee at the Buerger Center Garage (Garage B) on Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Philadelphia campus. If you or a family member parked at CHOP for an appointment or visit on that date, the charge is likely the parking payment processed when exiting the garage.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

How much does parking at the CHOP Buerger Garage usually cost?

Parking rates at the Buerger Center Garage vary by the length of stay and are posted in the garage. Patients and families may qualify for discounted rates when tickets are validated at clinic check-in desks or welcome desks inside the Main Hospital or Buerger Center. Check your printed parking ticket or posted signage for current pricing.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

Can I get my CHOP Buerger Garage parking ticket validated for a lower rate?

Yes. CHOP offers parking discounts for parents and legal guardians. You must bring your parking ticket to a clinic or department check-in desk, the Main Hospital welcome desk, or Buerger Center welcome and check-in desks to have it validated before paying at the kiosk or exit gate.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

Why do I see a pending or small temporary charge from CHOP Buerger Garage?

Some payment systems place a temporary authorization hold—sometimes a standard amount like $10–$20—when you insert your card at a parking gate. After your actual parking duration is calculated at exit, the hold is adjusted to the final fee and the temporary authorization is released by your bank within a few days.

How can I get a receipt or proof of payment for CHOP Buerger Garage parking?

Receipts are typically available from pay-on-foot kiosks or at the exit terminals when you complete payment. If you need a copy later—for reimbursement or records—contact CHOP’s parking or patient services department through the main hospital phone number and provide the date, approximate time, garage (Buerger Garage / Garage B), and last four digits of the card used.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

What should I do if I don’t recognize a CHOP Buerger Garage charge?

First, confirm whether you, a family member, or caregiver visited CHOP’s Philadelphia campus around the transaction date, as parking charges may be easy to forget after a medical visit. If no one recognizes the visit, contact your card issuer to review the transaction and then call CHOP’s main number to ask for parking or billing; they can check whether a vehicle or ticket ID associated with your card was logged in the Buerger Garage system.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

Is CHOP Buerger Garage parking open 24/7, and could that affect when charges post?

Buerger Center Garage (Garage B) has specific operating hours posted by CHOP, and while access may be limited to certain times, your bank may process the charge later than the actual exit time. It’s normal for the posting date on your statement to differ by a day or two from the actual parking date, depending on your card network and bank processing timelines.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))

How do I contact someone at CHOP about a parking fee from the Buerger Garage?

Visit chop.edu to find CHOP’s main hospital phone number and ask to be connected to Parking Services or the Buerger Center welcome desk. You can also inquire in person at the hospital or Buerger Center welcome desks during a visit; staff there can help answer questions about validations, rates, and specific garage charges.([chop.edu](https://www.chop.edu/philadelphia-campus/parking?utm_source=openai))
