Before you book: three questions that change the price

  1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
  2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
  3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take

  • Indiana University Health Frankfort Inc. is the lowest-cost option at $117 - $169 below the median posted price ($286), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $286, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Doctor offices and independent clinics may charge differently from hospitals for the same service and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset. Ask your doctor whether another site is an option.

How where you go changes what you pay for chemotherapy infusion

The same chemotherapy infusion bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Hospital Outpatient
$286–$10,374
  • Facility fee $101–$9,882
  • Professional fee $185–$492

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$331–$1,347
  • Facility fee $146–$855
  • Professional fee $185–$492

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Indiana has one of the most concentrated hospital markets in the Midwest, which the FTC has previously flagged as insufficiently competitive. Indiana University Health and Ascension St. Vincent hold significant combined market share in Indianapolis. The lack of robust competition is reflected in commercial reimbursement rates that run above the Midwest average.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (5) report prices above $1,004, including Community Health Network, Inc. at $1,810, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $286 versus $468 inpatient (about 1.6× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$286
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$57
Out-of-network provider $629+

Frequently asked questions: chemotherapy infusion costs in Indiana

How much does a chemotherapy infusion cost in Indiana?

Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Indiana hospitals run $117–$792; outlier facilities above and below that range are left out.

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Indiana data is Indiana University Health Frankfort Inc. in Frankfort at about $117. By metro, Noblesville has the lowest median ($221).

Why is a chemotherapy infusion so much cheaper at some Indiana hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 9.8× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Indiana, the median cash (self-pay) price is $286 versus a median negotiated rate of $449 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a chemotherapy infusion in Indiana?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
