Self-pay is what the hospital charges someone paying themselves rather than through insurance — the number to use if you have no coverage, or if this hospital is out of network. Paying self-pay usually doesn’t count toward your deductible, so it can cost less for this one service and more across a full year, if you’d have met your deductible anyway. Every other figure here is what an insurer pays, not what you would.
At all 2 hospitals here that publish a self-pay price, it is higher than what that hospital typically accepts from an insurer. Self-pay is not automatically the cheaper option, and for this code it is not the cheaper option anywhere. Either way it is worth asking whether you qualify for financial assistance, which is a different thing and often a much larger discount.

Sorted by how many TN hospitals publish a price, not by how much they charge.
4 of these 4 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: Parkridge Medical Center, Erlanger Medical Center, Affiliate of Vitruvian Health, Memorial Healthcare System.

These are prices the hospitals published themselves, as required by the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR 180.50). They are the hospital's share only — the surgeon, anesthesiologist and radiologist usually bill separately and do not appear in any hospital file, so treat every figure here as part of a total rather than the total. What you actually pay also depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.
