- Quote the billing code, such as 74176 or 99284, and ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and leaves out, such as contrast, supplies or follow-up visits.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, for example a radiologist reading an MRI, CT or ultrasound, or an ER physician for an ER visit.
- Check whether any other physician bills, such as a cardiologist reading an echocardiogram, come separately from the facility charge.

Understanding the Columns
Gross Charge: The chargemaster price before any discounts. Rarely what patients pay. It is primarily a starting point for insurance negotiations.
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
Prices shown are facility fees only. You'll also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
Imaging procedures include a facility fee plus a radiologist's reading fee. Surgical procedures add surgeon, anesthesia, and pathology fees.
For a more complete estimate, contact the hospital's financial counselling office or your insurer to request a pre-service cost estimate that includes all expected professional fees.
