Items to raise with the billing office.
- Quote the billing code, such as 71046 for a two-view chest X-ray, and ask for the cash or self-pay price plus an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and leaves out, since the figures here are facility charges only.
- Ask whether separate professional bills may follow, such as a radiologist for imaging, an ER physician for an ER visit, or a surgeon and anesthesia for a cesarean delivery or knee replacement.
Blanks, zeros and file timing. 6 rows carry a data note. Gross and cash were published as $0 or blank for 45378, 45380, 85025, 59510 and 27447, which means missing data, not a free service. On 80053, a low outlier for the maximum insured rate was left out. No gross or cash value was dropped as a likely file error. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-08.
