Data quality note: HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress publishes cash prices that match their gross charges, meaning no separate self-pay discount appears in their transparency file. The insured rates shown below are negotiated rates between the hospital and specific insurance plans. Uninsured patients may be able to negotiate lower rates by contacting the hospital's financial assistance department directly.
Data quality note: Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential (85025) is listed in this hospital's file at $73,184, against a top insurer rate of $53.49. That is almost certainly an error in the file, so we show it as N/A and leave it out of every range and comparison. Insurer rates in the file that are worked out from that charge (far above what insurers pay for this test elsewhere) are left out as well. How we decide.

Things to ask the billing office. A few items a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 74176 for CT abdomen and pelvis, when asking for a price.
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and leaves out, since these are facility charges.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, for example a radiologist reading an imaging study, an ER physician for an emergency visit, or a surgeon and anesthesia for the C-section or knee replacement.
Blank prices and the file date. Five rows carry a data note. Screening colonoscopy, colonoscopy with biopsy, cesarean delivery and total knee replacement were published as $0 or blank for gross and cash, which means missing data, not a free service. The complete blood count had its gross and cash values left out as a likely file error. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and we accessed it 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.
