What you may pay

With insurance from an employer or private plan: $2,513Only one plan lists a price here:
CHPW PEBB - ALL OTHER PLANS $2,513 Lower than typical
Typical at 19 hospitals we cover: $6,891 to $20,268 (each hospital’s middle plan price, hospital’s fee). Don’t see your plan? Ask your insurer for its rate here.
Paying yourself (cash price): $2,895Typical hospital’s fee at 5 hospitals we cover: $4,636 to $5,566.

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.
