Across 13 price rows, cash is below every insured rate on 0, within the insured range on 11, and above every insured rate on 2.

The file lists 572 insurer rate entries from 25 payer names.
Questions to bring before booking. Quote the billing code, such as 71046 for a chest X-ray or 99284 for a Level 4 ER visit, and ask for the cash or self-pay price along with an itemized estimate. You can ask what the quote includes, such as the facility charge only, and what it leaves out, like supplies or follow-up visits. Ask whether separate bills may come from other providers: a radiologist reading an MRI, CT or ultrasound, an ER physician, or a cardiologist reading an echocardiogram. Those professional fees are not part of the facility prices listed here.
Gaps in the file. None of the 13 rows has a $0 or blank value, and no values were left out as likely file errors. The file is a CSV with 579,108 items, updated 01/01/2026.
