What you may pay

With insurance from an employer or private plan: No price posted for commercial insurance.
Paying yourself (cash price): $1,576Typical hospital’s fee at 17 hospitals we cover: $1,710 to $8,182.

These are prices the hospital published, not a quote. With insurance you usually pay part of the rate (your deductible and coinsurance); the estimator on the procedure page works it out. A higher price does not mean better care.

Doctors usually bill separately. At most hospitals these are the hospital’s own charges. The surgeon, radiologist, anesthesiologist or pathologist usually sends a separate bill: ask each of them for an estimate too.
