What you may pay

REGENCE BLUESHIELD - Commercial-PPO: Regence Blue Shield $988Below what Traditional Medicare pays this hospital for this ($1,056, CY2026 rate). Private plans almost always pay more than Medicare, so this may cover only part of the bill or be a mistake in the hospital’s file. Ask REGENCE BLUESHIELD - Commercial-PPO for its rate before relying on it.
PREMERA BLUE CROSS - Commercial-PPO: Premera Blue Cross $1,880 Lower than typical
UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY - Commercial-POS: UnitedHealthcare $2,774 Typical
Typical at 36 hospitals we cover: $2,395 to $2,983 (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): $1,844 TypicalTypical hospital’s fee at 25 hospitals we cover: $1,446 to $2,120.

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.

Reading the doctor list

A higher price doesn’t mean better care. The quality score and the price come from different CMS files and are shown separately on purpose.
The amount is what Traditional Medicare (original Medicare) approved for the doctor’s or lab’s own service: Medicare’s payment plus the patient’s share. It is not what commercial insurance or Medicare Advantage pays, and the hospital or surgery center bills separately (surgery centers aren’t in this list).
The Medicare quality score is CMS’s MIPS final score (0 to 100), based mostly on the doctor’s Medicare patients. About half of doctors aren’t scored, so Not rated says nothing bad about a doctor. A group’s score covers everyone in the group.
CMS doesn’t publish counts under 11 patients, so doctors who rarely bill Medicare for this aren’t listed, and No price published means CMS has no amount for that setting.
Medicare’s file doesn’t say where a doctor did the procedure, only that they billed it in Washington. Affiliations are the hospitals each doctor lists with Medicare.
