|---|---|
| List price | $583.45 — the hospital's gross (list) charge before any discount or insurance. |
| Medicare rate (2026) | $97.86 — Medicare’s published national payment rate for this procedure (CMS Physician Fee Schedule, facility rate). It is a total rate: for most services Medicare pays about 80% of it and the patient or their supplemental plan about 20%. The amount paid to a specific hospital varies with local wage adjustments. |
| Insurance-negotiated range | $68.73 – $525.11 — the lowest and highest rates this hospital has negotiated with insurance plans for this procedure, as published in its file. |
The low end of a negotiated range can reflect a government program fee schedule (such as Medicaid) rather than a rate most patients would pay, and the high end can reflect contract formulas. Your own plan's rate sits somewhere inside the range and depends on your coverage.
