Insurer median. The middle of the prices this hospital lists for each insurer and plan. Your plan's price may be higher or lower.

Cash price. The discounted price for paying yourself, without insurance.

List price. The hospital's full chargemaster price, before any discount. Few people pay it.

20 of these 43 hospitals don't publish a cash price for this service. Their price files list only what each insurer pays and leave the cash and list price blank, often because the hospital charges a procedure as separate items (the room, supplies, recovery). Ask the hospital for a self-pay estimate.
