Before you book
These prices are published by the clinic (not from a hospital file) and were checked against the clinic's own page on Oct 1, 2026. Call to confirm the price and ask what it includes — for imaging, whether the radiologist's reading is billed separately. As a self-pay patient you can ask any clinic for a Good Faith Estimate in writing before a scheduled service. Hospital prices in the table are medians of the hospitals' own cash prices for the same code: in the clinic's metro area when at least three hospitals there list it, otherwise in the state or the whole country.
