Pricing Information

Consumers have a right to know in advance an estimate of what a medical procedure or treatment will cost. The charge for the procedure or treatment is the “retail” price. If you have insurance, your health plan has negotiated a discount, and your out-of-pocket costs will depend on your policy’s deductible and copayment requirements. If you do not have insurance, you may qualify for a government program or for free care. If not, your provider may offer a discount. More detailed information is available in the “Hospitals” section .

Texas PricePoint is an online tool to help you compare average charges among hospitals for certain conditions or inpatient and outpatient procedures.
