Bills to expect

The hospital’s fee is the price above. Doctors usually send their own bills. Their amounts here are what original Medicare allows in the rest of Washington for 2026, and a private-plan estimate of 118% to 179% of that (the range found across studies of what insurers pay doctors). Those are estimates, not quotes.
