Using HCA Northwest's Published Prices
Where HCA Northwest sits against Houston. The metro table covers 7 procedures, and HCA Northwest's lowest cash price is above the Houston median on all 7, with none below or near it. The labels read 246% above median for the echocardiogram, 308% above median for ER visits, 1129% above median for MRI, 315% above median for the chest X-ray, 481% above median for CT scans, 457% above median for ultrasound and 2106% above median for lab work. For example, the lab work cash price of $2,069 compares with a Houston median of $93.80.
How cash lines up with gross and insured rates. Cash is 100% of gross on every row that has both values, so no separate self-pay discount appears in this hospital's file. Across the 12 rows with a published cash price, cash is above every insured rate on all 12, and on none is it below or within the insured range. The file lists 2,710 insurer rate entries from 34 payer names for these procedures.
Asking the billing office. These are things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 74177 for CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast, and ask for the cash or self-pay price.
- Ask for an itemized estimate and what the quote includes and leaves out, such as supplies, contrast or follow-up visits.
- Ask which professionals bill separately, for example the radiologist who reads an MRI or CT, the ER physician for a visit, or the surgeon and anesthesia team for a procedure.
Zero values and the file date. Five rows carry a data note because gross and cash 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 2026-10-08.
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.
