Pricing Patterns at LaFollette Medical Center
At LaFollette Medical Center, cash prices are consistently about 27 percent of gross charges, a discount of roughly 73 percent; for example, a screening colonoscopy lists at $14,318.07 gross versus $3,865.88 cash, and an MRI brain without contrast lists at $5,916.13 gross versus $1,597.36 cash. Insured rates span an unusually wide range, with the screening colonoscopy running from $299.66 to $141,089.85 and a Level 5 ER visit from $159.85 to $90,352.35, so the maximum insured rate for many procedures is far above both the cash price and the gross charge. Notably, the cash price for several services is higher than the lowest insured rate but far below the highest, such as a complete blood count with differential at $84.82 cash against insured rates of $3.36 to $1,154.34.

Cash against the insured range. Cash is 27% of gross on every row listed. Cash is within the insured range on 15 rows, below every insured rate on 0 rows and above every insured rate on 0 rows. For example, the 99283 ER Visit Level 3 shows a cash price of $454.92 and an insured range from $64.71 to $41,415.66. The insured range is wide, so a cash figure being inside it does not say what any one plan would pay.
Calling the billing office. A reader can ask:
- Which billing code the quote uses, such as 93306 for an echocardiogram or 45378 for a screening colonoscopy.
- For the cash or self-pay price, in writing, with an itemized estimate.
- What the quote includes and leaves out, such as supplies, pathology, or a higher-level code if the visit changes.
- Whether separate professional bills may follow from a radiologist, an ER physician, a surgeon or an anesthesia provider, and how to get those prices.
Zero entries and file age. No rows carry a data note, and no values were published as $0 or left out as a likely file error. The file was updated 2026-04-01.
