Before you book. You can ask the billing office:
- To quote the exact billing code, such as 71046 for a two-view chest X-ray.
- For the cash or self-pay price in writing, plus an itemized estimate.
- What the quote includes and what it leaves out, since these rows are facility charges.
- Whether separate bills may come from a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician, a surgeon or anesthesia.
Blank values and what they mean. Five rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: both colonoscopy codes (45378 and 45380), the CBC (85025), the cesarean delivery (59510) and the total knee replacement (27447). A blank or $0 here means missing data, not a free service. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and we accessed it on 2026-10-08.

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
