How to use these prices

A cash price is what the hospital says it charges patients who pay for themselves. An insured average is what insurance plans pay on average, which is a useful guide when a hospital doesn’t list a cash price. Ask the hospital for its self-pay price before you book, and for a written Good Faith Estimate.

For your doctor’s office: these prices are for billing code CPT 42826.

These are estimates from prices hospitals publish under federal price transparency rules, from files dated Feb 2026 to Mar 2026. They are not a quote or a bill, and the hospital may charge a different amount. “Lowest” means the lowest published price we found, not a guaranteed price.

If you are uninsured or paying cash, you have the right to a written Good Faith Estimate from the provider before you schedule care, and you can dispute a bill that comes in $400 or more above it.

Your provider may bill a different code for the same visit. CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. More about these prices
