Cash, gross and insured rates here. Cash is 100% of gross on every row where both values are published, so no separate self-pay discount appears in this hospital's file. Of the 12 rows with a cash price, 0 are below every insured rate, 8 fall within the insured range and 4 are above every insured rate. The MRI, chest X-ray and one CT row are in that last group.
Before you call the billing office. Things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 71046 for the chest X-ray, and ask for the cash or self-pay price.
- Ask for an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and leaves out, such as contrast, supplies or facility fees.
- Ask whether radiologist, ER physician, surgeon or anesthesia professional fees are billed separately from the facility charge.
What the file leaves blank. Five rows carry a data note because gross and cash were published as $0 or blank: codes 45378, 45380, 85025, 59510 and 27447. That is missing data, not a free service, so ask for a quote on those. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and we accessed it on 2026-10-08.
General information about using published prices, not medical, legal or financial advice. Confirm your own cost with the hospital and your insurer. Our methodology
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.
