Pricing Patterns at TriStar Skyline
At TriStar Skyline Medical Center, the listed cash price equals the gross charge for every procedure with a nonzero value, meaning a 0% discount from gross, and several procedures show $0 for both gross and cash fields, such as knee replacement and colonoscopy, so no self-pay figure is available for those. The cash price also exceeds the entire insured range for some services, including the brain MRI (cash $9,307.19 versus an insured rate of $313.62) and the chest X-ray (cash $1,286.77 versus $83.86), while the abdominal CT without contrast shows an insured range of $3,049.40 to $16,232.57 against a cash price of $16,563.85. Insured amounts for the same service can vary widely, as with knee replacement ($2,550 to $34,140) and colonoscopy with biopsy ($870 to $4,299).

Cash price against the insured range at TriStar Skyline. Every published cash price equals the gross charge, so cash is 100% of gross on each row that has both values. No separate self-pay discount appears in this hospital's file. Of the 12 rows with a cash price, cash is below every insured rate on 0 rows, within the insured range on 3 rows and above every insured rate on 9 rows. For example, the 99284 ER visit shows cash of $3,470.60 and an insured range from $107.91 to $3,401.19. The file lists 1,148 insurer rate entries from 36 payer names.
Things to ask the billing office first. A reader can check or ask the following:
- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 or 74176, and ask for the cash or self-pay price for that exact code.
- Ask for an itemized written estimate rather than a single figure.
- Ask what the quote includes, such as the facility charge, and what it leaves out, such as contrast, supplies or follow-up visits.
- Ask whether separate professional bills may come from other providers, for example a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician, a surgeon or anesthesia.
Zero values, empty cells and file timing. Five rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: 45378 and 45380 colonoscopy, 85025 CBC, 59510 cesarean delivery and 27447 total knee replacement. A $0 or blank is missing data, not a free service, so ask billing for a real quote on those codes. No values were left out as likely file errors.

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.
