Of the 12 rows with a cash price, 0 are below every insured rate, 3 fall within the insured range and 9 are above every insured rate. The file lists 1,105 insured rate entries from 47 payer names.
- Echocardiogram, code 93306: cash $16,025, insured from $144.40 to $13,621.25.
- ER visit level 3, code 99283: cash $2,320, insured from $73.15 to $3,721.
Questions a reader can put to billing. Quote the exact billing code, such as 99283 or 93306, and ask for the cash or self-pay price along with an itemized estimate. A reader can ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, since these figures are facility charges. Separate professional bills may come from an ER physician, a radiologist who reads the MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound images, a cardiologist for an echocardiogram, a surgeon and an anesthesia provider for a knee replacement or cesarean delivery. It is worth asking whether each of those bills is covered by the quote.
Zeros, blanks and when the file was posted. Five rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: codes 45378, 45380, 85025, 59510 and 27447. That means the data is missing, not that the service is free. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-12.
