Before You Schedule

These prices are a starting point for your research, not a final quote. We recommend calling the hospital's billing department with your insurance information for a personalized estimate. Knowing the typical price range puts you in a stronger position to ask the right questions.

The same outpatient procedure can cost several times more at one hospital than another in the same metro, based on cash-discount prices across our dataset. In some cases the spread is 8x or wider, and at the top of the distribution the gap can be far more extreme. We track this across more than 1,100 procedure-and-metro combinations so you can see where the spread is widest before you book.
