How to Use This Data
These prices come from hospital price transparency files that hospitals are required by law to publish. They represent the range of what hospitals declare as their charges - actual negotiated rates with insurers are typically 40–60% lower.
If you have insurance: Your out-of-pocket cost is determined by your deductible, coinsurance, and your insurer's negotiated rate with the specific facility. Call your insurer for a pre-service cost estimate before scheduling.
If you are uninsured: Call 2–3 facilities directly and ask for their self-pay or cash-pay rate. Most facilities offer 20–50% discounts off list prices for upfront payment.
If you received a bill: Upload it to CostKits to compare what you were charged against what other facilities in your state reported.

- ✓ The questions to ask before you schedule, so the estimate covers everything
- ✓ A real patient billing breakdown, line by line
