Pricing Data Accuracy
The prices displayed on this website are derived from publicly available hospital price transparency files, Medicare fee schedules, and other government data sources. While we strive for accuracy, please be aware:
- Prices shown are estimates and ranges based on aggregated data across multiple facilities
- Your actual cost may differ significantly based on your specific insurance plan, facility, geographic location, and clinical circumstances
- Hospital prices change frequently. Our data is updated periodically but may not reflect the most current rates at any specific facility
- Prices typically do not include physician fees, anesthesia, laboratory work, or other ancillary charges that may apply to your visit
- Medicare rates shown are national averages and do not reflect geographic adjustments
Not a Substitute for Direct Price Verification
Before scheduling any medical procedure, we strongly recommend:
- Contacting the facility directly for a current price estimate
- Asking for an all-inclusive or "bundled" price that covers all expected charges
- Checking with your insurance provider about coverage, pre-authorization requirements, and your expected out-of-pocket costs
- Requesting a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act (effective January 2022)
Medicare Rate Context
The Medicare rates shown on this site represent the amounts CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) pays for procedures under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. These rates:
- Are not the actual cost of performing the procedure
- Are not what most patients will pay
- Serve as a benchmark for understanding relative pricing, since Medicare is the largest single payer in the US healthcare system
- Do not reflect what private insurance companies negotiate, which is typically higher than Medicare but lower than gross charges
