Cash, gross and insured rates here. Cash is 100% of gross on every row with both values, so no separate self-pay discount appears in this file. Of the 12 rows with a cash price, cash is below the insured range on 0, within it on 3 (the three ER visit levels) and above every insured rate on 9. For example, the MRI Brain Without Contrast (70551) shows cash of $10,890.27 against insured rates from $170.96 to $9,583.44.
Questions to put to billing. Things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 or 99284, and ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, such as supplies, contrast or observation time.
- Ask which separate professional bills may come later, for example a radiologist reading an MRI or CT, an ER physician, or a surgeon and anesthesia provider for a surgical procedure.
Missing prices and the file date. Five rows carry data notes: Screening Colonoscopy (45378), Colonoscopy with Biopsy (45380), Complete Blood Count (85025), Cesarean Delivery (59510) and Total Knee Replacement (27447). Their gross and cash values were published as $0 or blank, which is missing data and not a free service. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-09.
