Things to ask and check before a visit. A reader can ask the billing office about these points:
- Quote the billing code, such as 74177 or 93306, so the estimate matches the right row.
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, such as supplies, drugs or follow-up visits.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, for example a radiologist reading an MRI or CT, a surgeon and anesthesia for a knee replacement, or an ER physician for an ER visit.
Zero values and the file date. No rows on this page carry a data note, so no values were published as $0 or blank and none were left out as likely file errors. The file is a CSV updated 3/19/2026 and accessed by us 2026-10-09, so prices may have changed since.
