Pricing Patterns at TriStar Summit
For the imaging, lab, and emergency services with listed charges, the cash price equals the gross charge exactly, so the cash discount is 0%; examples include $10,643.20 for MRI Brain Without Contrast, $17,165.50 for CT Abdomen and Pelvis, and $4,548.00 for a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel. In each of these cases the cash price sits at or above the top of the insured range, such as $10,643.20 cash versus $1,959.41 to $9,366.02 insured for the brain MRI, and $4,791.08 cash versus $882.04 to $4,216.15 insured for a Level 5 ER visit.

Of the 13 rows with a cash price, cash is below every insured rate on 0 rows, within the insured range on 2 rows and above every insured rate on 11 rows. For example, the 93306 echocardiogram lists cash of $7,892.54 against insured rates from $230.59 to $6,945.44.
Questions to settle before a visit. A reader can ask billing:
- Which billing code applies, such as 70551 for a brain MRI or 99284 for an ER visit, and whether the cash or self-pay price differs from the gross charge listed.
- For an itemized estimate in writing, and what the quote includes and leaves out, such as supplies, contrast or facility fees.
- Whether separate bills may come from a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician, an anesthesia provider or a surgeon, since the prices here are facility charges.
Missing entries and file date. Four rows carry a data note: 45378 and 45380 colonoscopy, 59510 cesarean delivery and 27447 knee replacement. Their gross and cash values were published as $0 or blank, which means missing data, 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.

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.
