Disclaimer

Prices only. MyCarePrice publishes general information about what outpatient procedures cost and why prices differ by facility type. We do not publish diagnosis, treatment, or should-you-get-this-test content, and nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation for or against any procedure.

Not medical advice. Information on this site is not a substitute for advice from your clinician. Talk to your clinician about your care. Talk to the facility billing office about your price.

Medicare anchors are not your bill. The dollar figures labeled as Medicare anchors are amounts Medicare pays under the Physician Fee Schedule or OPPS from the named CMS source and year printed next to them. Your cash price, insurance allowed amount, and final bill will differ. The anchor is provided to explain order of magnitude and the facility-type lever.

Confirm your price in writing before service. This instruction appears on every price page because it is the only reliable way to know your price. Ask for the CPT code, setting, and inclusions in writing from the facility that will perform the service.

No invented prices. Where a self-pay price cannot be verified from a public source, we do not publish one. Hospital machine-readable file list prices are not presented as patient prices. See Methodology for what our sources can and cannot support.

Anchors are specific to a payment system and place. A Physician Fee Schedule anchor on this site is the Participating amount for Michigan Locality 01 from the WPS GHA file. Another locality pays a different amount because the geographic adjustment factors differ. An OPPS anchor is the national unadjusted rate before wage-index adjustment and before the 80/20 split between Medicare and the beneficiary. Neither is a prediction of what your plan or a cash-pay facility will charge.

Not a quote, estimate, or offer. Nothing here is a quote from any provider. A Good Faith Estimate or written price comes only from the facility or clinician who will bill you. We do not know your plan, your deductible, your network, or your clinician's contracts, so we cannot tell you what you will owe.

Accuracy. We verify figures against named CMS files and print the source year and verified date next to them. CMS revises fee schedules and rules, and a figure that was right on its verified date can be out of date later. Check the primary source before relying on a number. To report an error, use the contact form; our correction process is described on the About page.

No professional relationship. Reading this site or writing to us does not create a clinician-patient, legal, insurance-advisory, or billing-advocacy relationship. We do not negotiate bills or contact facilities for you.

CPT codes. CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. Codes and short descriptors appear here only to identify the service you are asking about.

External links. We link to CMS, state portals, and insurer tools so you can verify our sources. We do not control those sites and do not endorse any facility, insurer, or tool they list.

Advertising. No ads are shown at present. If that changes, ads will be clearly separate from content and will not alter the anchors we publish. See the privacy policy.

Emergency. If you believe you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not delay emergency care to research prices.
