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

Quick take
- SAMARITAN NORTH LINCOLN HOSPITAL is the lowest-cost option at $184 - $183 below the median posted price ($367), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $367, 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.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $1,660, including Shriners Childrens - Portland at $1,772, 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 $367 versus $920 inpatient (about 2.5× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$367 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$73 |
| Out-of-network provider | $807+ |

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Oregon data is SAMARITAN NORTH LINCOLN HOSPITAL in Lincoln City at about $184. By metro, Portland has the lowest median ($367).
Why is a chemotherapy infusion so much cheaper at some Oregon hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 2× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Oregon, the median cash (self-pay) price is $367 versus a median negotiated rate of $894 - 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 Oregon?
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.
