Hospital vs. Outpatient Center Pricing in Missouri

Discuss options with your surgeon and, if you're self-pay, ask about pricing at each available setting before scheduling.

For insured patients, the negotiated rate between your plan and the hospital determines your cost share. If you haven't met your deductible, you may pay more than the cash price. It's worth asking the hospital whether their self-pay rate is lower than what your insurance would charge — some patients save money by not filing a claim.
