This is the hospital's facility fee. The physician performing the procedure, anesthesia and any pathology are billed separately.
These are contract reference rates, not your bill. A plan-type median is not a quote for your specific plan or network. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance and network status. Rates shown are facility charges only — physician/radiologist fees are billed separately.

Each figure is the median of that hospital's published rates for the procedure's code family under that plan type. "Insured median" is the median of the hospital's commercial-plan rates (PPO, HMO, EPO, POS, ACA marketplace and plans not labelled by type); the headline figure is the median of that column. Hospitals label plan types differently, so compare the Insured median column across hospitals rather than a single plan-type column. "×Medicare" compares to the CMS national outpatient rate. Blank cells mean the hospital's file discloses no dollar rate for that plan type.

With insurance, the hospital's negotiated rate is what your plan is billed. Across 12 hospitals here the median commercial-plan rate is $2,106, and the middle half fall between $1,538 and $2,654. Until you meet your deductible you typically pay that negotiated amount; after it, your coinsurance or copay applies.
