In 37 of 37 procedures, the published cash price equals the full list price. The file shows no discount for paying without insurance. Ask the hospital whether it offers an uninsured discount or financial assistance.
Price information, not medical advice. These are prices hospitals publish in their federally required price files. What you pay can differ: it depends on your plan, your deductible, the exact services you receive, and separate bills from doctors (for example, the radiologist who reads an image).
