What you may pay

With insurance from an employer or private plan: $1,449 to $1,603Depends on your plan. Each plan’s price at this hospital:
PROVIDENCE SIGNATURE $1,449 Lower than typical
REGENCE BS PPO/POS - ALL OTHER PLANS $1,603 Lower than typical
Typical at 35 hospitals we cover: $6,164 to $7,385 (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): $1,228Too few hospitals list this price to compare.

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.
