Points to raise with billing before a visit. A reader can quote the billing code, such as 99283 or 71046, and ask for the cash or self-pay price along with an itemized estimate. It also helps to ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out. The prices shown here are facility charges, so a reader can ask whether separate professional bills apply, such as a radiologist reading an MRI or X-ray, an ER physician, or a sonographer-ordered ultrasound interpretation. For a cesarean or knee replacement, a reader can also ask about surgeon and anesthesia bills.
Zeros, blanks and file age. 4 rows carry a data note because a value was published as $0 or blank. These are missing data, not free services. They are the screening colonoscopy (45378), colonoscopy with biopsy (45380), cesarean delivery (59510) and total knee replacement (27447), which show insured ranges but no gross or cash price.

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.
