The lowest average bill is at Mercy Hospital South, $21,958. The highest is at Saint Luke's East Hospital, $68,240. These are Medicare averages for 2024; a bill depends on the care each patient needs.
Why is the hospital bill so much higher than what is paid?
The bill comes from the hospital's own price list, which each hospital sets for itself. Medicare pays a fixed amount for each kind of stay, worked out by a national formula, and private insurers negotiate their own rates. So the list price is rarely what anyone pays, but uninsured and out-of-network patients can be billed from it.
How much will I pay myself?
With Original Medicare you owe the Part A deductible for a hospital stay, $1,736 in 2026, whatever the hospital bills. With private insurance it depends on your deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum. Without insurance, ask for the hospital's cash price and its financial assistance policy. The cost estimator works it out for your situation.
Before you go
- Ask for an estimate. Hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written good-faith estimate before planned care.
- Check the network. Confirm that the hospital and the doctors are in your plan's network.
- Ask about financial help. Non-profit hospitals must have a financial assistance policy; many discount or forgive bills by income.
- Get an itemized bill. Compare it with the estimate and question anything you don't recognise.
