Across 114 GA hospitals that publish a negotiated price for this code. Each hospital's figure is the middle of the rates it publishes across its own insurance plans, so the spread within one hospital is often wider than the gap between two.

Two different kinds of price are mixed together below. A procedure code is billed twice — once by the hospital for its own costs, once by the doctor for their work — and hospitals publish different sides of that split under the same code. For this code, 48 hospitals publish a facility charge, 7 hospitals publish both, mixed together, and 59 hospitals do not say which. A physician fee is typically a small fraction of the hospital charge, so a much lower number here usually means it is measuring less, not that the hospital is cheaper. Unlabelled does not mean it is the hospital charge — some hospitals publish a physician fee without saying so, and nothing in the data distinguishes them.

Self-pay is what the hospital charges someone paying themselves rather than through insurance — the number to use if you have no coverage, or if this hospital is out of network. Paying self-pay usually doesn’t count toward your deductible, so it can cost less for this one service and more across a full year, if you’d have met your deductible anyway. Every other figure here is what an insurer pays, not what you would.

The doctor’s side, roughly. Nationally, Medicare allows about $11 for the clinician who performs or reads this service, across 12,197 billing providers in 2024. That is a separate bill from everything above, and it is not added to any figure on this page — it is a Medicare average, not this hospital’s charge and not your plan’s rate, so combining them would produce a total no source states. It is here to show the rough size of what a hospital price leaves out.

Pick your plan to see its rates, and estimate what you’d owe against your deductible.
Worried about affording this? →
Nonprofit hospitals are legally required to help patients who can’t pay. Who qualifies, and how to apply.

6 of these 114 hospitals have not published an updated price file in over a year, or do not say when they last did. Hospitals are required to update at least annually, so those figures may not reflect what they charge now: Monroe County Hospital, Tanner Medical Center Villa Rica, Jeff Davis Hospital, Jefferson Hospital, Southeast Georgia Health System -- Camden Campus, Southeast Georgia Health System- Brunswick Campus.

Narrow this by your insurance plan or distance →

These are prices the hospitals published themselves, as required by the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR 180.50). They are the hospital's share only — the surgeon, anesthesiologist and radiologist usually bill separately and do not appear in any hospital file, so treat every figure here as part of a total rather than the total. What you actually pay also depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.
