Pricing Patterns at TriStar Southern Hills
Where gross charges are listed, cash prices match them exactly (a 0% discount), such as $5,921.36 for a brain MRI and $12,989.10 for a CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast. Insured rates for these services span a wide range, with the lowest negotiated rates running roughly 82% below the gross charge (for example $1,090.12 versus $5,921.36 for the brain MRI) and the highest rates falling about 12% below it. Several procedures, including total knee replacement ($2,179 to $37,269), screening colonoscopy ($662 to $4,100), and cesarean delivery ($1,405 to $3,435), show $0 gross and cash prices alongside insured ranges, so no self-pay figure is listed for them in this data.

Cash price versus the insured range. Cash is 100% of gross on every row where both values are published, so no separate self-pay discount appears in this hospital's file. Of the 12 rows with a cash price, 0 are below the insured range, 0 fall within it and 12 are above every insured rate. The file lists 1,246 insurer rate entries from 34 payer names.
Questions to put to billing. A reader can ask:
- Which billing code to quote, such as 70551 for MRI Brain Without Contrast or 99284 for an ER visit.
- For the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate in writing.
- Whether the quote covers only facility charges and what it leaves out.
- Whether separate professional bills may follow, such as a radiologist reading an MRI or CT scan, an ER physician, or an anesthesia or surgeon bill for a procedure like a knee replacement or cesarean delivery.
Zeros, blanks and the file's age. 5 rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: 45378, 45380, 85025, 59510 and 27447. That is missing data, not a free service, and no cash price appears for those codes. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-09, so current prices may differ.
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.
