What these numbers are — and aren't. These are facility rates hospitals publish under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency rule (45 CFR Part 180). They are price information, not a quote or guarantee. Physician, anesthesia, radiology, and pathology services usually bill separately. Your actual cost depends on your insurance plan, deductible, and how the visit is coded.
