Hospital profile pages are what we wish existed when our own family was trying to figure out a bill. Each one shows every procedure that hospital publishes, pulled straight from its own federally mandated transparency file, one of roughly 3,500 we track and refresh monthly. We link back to the raw file every time, so you can verify the prices yourself. No middleman, no spin.
Virginia Gay Hospital's cash pay prices range from $2 (Urinalysis) to $4,588 (Gallbladder Removal (Laparoscopic)).
