Questions to ask before booking. Quote the billing code, such as 74177 or 71046, when you call. You can ask for:
- the cash or self-pay price for that code, with an itemized estimate in writing
- what the quote includes and what it leaves out, such as supplies, contrast or follow-up visits
- separate professional bills, since these prices are facility charges only. A radiologist may bill for reading a scan, and an ER physician may bill separately from the ER facility fee
Data gaps and file date. No rows carry a data note, so no values were published as $0 or blank or left out as likely file errors. The figures come from a hospital file updated 01/01/2026.

Cash/Self-Pay: The discounted rate hospitals offer to uninsured patients. Ask about financial assistance programs for further reductions.
Insured Range: Lowest to highest negotiated rates across all payers. Medicare rates are typically lowest; commercial plan rates highest.
About Facility Fees
