Do hospitals charge for skin to skin?

Question

My brother told me this and I didn’t believe him so I googled it and it says some places do. Were you charged for it? Do you know someone who was charged for it? 
I personally don’t understand why they would charge you to hold your own baby. I’m open minded to understand why though.
