## Before quoting any figure below

- **Hospital charges only.** The surgeon, anaesthetist, radiologist and pathologist bill separately and appear in no hospital price file, by construction. Every figure below is part of a total, never the total.
- **A negotiated rate is not a bill.** It is what a hospital and an insurer agreed. What a patient owes depends on their deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum.
- **Each hospital's figure is a median across its own plans.** The spread inside one hospital is often wider than the gap between two of them.
- **"not mentioned" is not $0.** It means this hospital's file does not label a row that way. Silence is not a statement that the charge does not exist.
- **A hospital absent from the table says nothing about its prices.** It may publish this code under a revenue or drug code this site cannot map to a procedure.

A procedure code is billed twice -- once by the hospital for its own costs, once by the doctor for their work -- and hospitals publish different sides of that split under the same code. Of the hospitals here, 49 publish a facility charge; 7 publish both, mixed together; 58 do not label which half the figure is.

## Typical price

|  | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cheapest tenth | $46 |
| Typical | $95 |
| Dearest tenth | $314 |

The cheapest and dearest tenth are the hospitals a tenth of the way in from each end, not the single cheapest and dearest. Every hospital, including both extremes, is in the table below.

That is a 7-fold difference for the same billing code -- a gap between hospitals, not between treatments.

## Self-pay

Self-pay is what the hospital charges someone paying themselves rather than through insurance. Paying self-pay usually does not count toward a deductible, so it can cost less for one service and more across a year. Every other figure here is what an insurer pays, not what a patient would.

At 17 of the 104 hospitals here that publish a self-pay price it is LOWER than what that same hospital typically accepts from an insurer; at the other 87 it is higher.

## The doctor's side, roughly

Nationally, Medicare allows about $8 for the clinician who performs or reads this service, across 1,830 billing providers in 2024. That is a separate bill from everything above and is NOT added to any figure on this page -- it is here to show the rough size of what a hospital price leaves out.

7 of these 114 hospitals have not published an updated price file in over a year, or do not say when they last did. Hospitals are required to update at least annually, so those figures may not reflect what they charge now: Monroe County Hospital, Jeff Davis Hospital, Jefferson Hospital, Donalsonville Hospital, Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica, Southeast Georgia Health System -- Camden Campus, Southeast Georgia Health System- Brunswick Campus.
