Scheduled care only
Hospital Cost Finder is for scheduled care only
Hospital Cost Finder is built for planned hospital services that can usually be scheduled in advance. It is not for emergencies, urgent symptoms, or decisions about whether you need care right now.
Do not delay emergency care
Do not delay emergency care to compare prices. If you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Listed prices on this site are not medical advice, emergency guidance, or a substitute for a clinician's judgment.
What this site is for
Use Hospital Cost Finder when you are comparing planned care before booking, such as:
- a scheduled imaging test ordered by your clinician
- a non-emergency hospital outpatient service
- a service where you have time to confirm the billing code and request an estimate
- a comparison between hospitals for one specific scheduled service
What this site is not for
Do not use this site to make emergency or time-sensitive medical decisions. It is not for:
- chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, or serious injury
- deciding whether symptoms need immediate medical attention
- choosing where to go during an emergency
- replacing instructions from your doctor, hospital, insurer, or emergency services
Listed prices are only a starting point
The prices shown on Hospital Cost Finder come from public hospital price-transparency sources. They are not scheduling quotes and may not include every related charge.
Before scheduling, confirm the billing code, ask whether the listed price is facility-only, ask whether a physician or radiologist may bill separately, and request an insurance-specific estimate when insurance is involved.
