Pricing Patterns at Fort Loudoun

Where gross charges are listed, cash prices are consistently about 67% lower, or roughly 33% of the gross charge, such as $2,640 gross versus $871.20 cash for a CT of the abdomen and pelvis, and $1,772 gross versus $584.76 cash for a brain MRI. Insured rates show wide variation for the same service: a CT abdomen and pelvis without contrast ranges from $105.33 to $2,376, and a Level 5 ER visit ranges from $682.50 to $3,337, while some imaging services such as the brain MRI ($173.15) and abdominal ultrasound ($69.61) show a single insured rate far below the cash price. Total knee replacement, colonoscopy, and cesarean delivery list $0 for gross and cash prices, so only insured ranges ($2,009 to $15,328 for knee replacement and $1,575 to $2,945 for the other two) are available for those procedures.

Using Fort Loudoun's Published Prices

Where Fort Loudoun lands in Knoxville. Seven procedures have enough Knoxville cash data for a comparison, and Fort Loudoun is near the median on all seven, with none above and none below. For example, the Knoxville median for an echocardiogram is $412.17, the same as Fort Loudoun's lowest valid cash price. Across the nine Knoxville hospitals with pages here, the listed ranges still vary widely, so check the table for each procedure.

How cash sits against gross and insured figures. Where Fort Loudoun publishes both, cash is 33% of gross. Of the 13 rows with a cash price, 2 are below every insured rate, 11 are within the insured range, and none are above. The two below-range rows are the level 4 and level 5 ER visits. The file lists 2,361 insurer rate entries from 26 payer names, so insured amounts differ by plan.

Before a visit, a reader can ask:

  • Which billing code the quote uses, such as 70551 for an MRI of the brain or 99284 for a level 4 ER visit.
  • What the cash or self-pay price is, and whether an itemized written estimate is available.
  • What the quote includes and leaves out, such as contrast, supplies or follow-up services.
  • Whether separate professional bills apply, such as a radiologist for imaging, an ER physician for an emergency visit, or a surgeon and anesthesia for a surgical procedure.

Missing entries and how old the file is. Four rows have a value published as $0 or blank, which means the data is missing, not that the service is free. These are the two colonoscopy codes, the cesarean delivery and the total knee replacement, and none show a gross or cash price. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-08-27 and accessed by us 2026-10-09.

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.
