Hospital cash price: the lowest outpatient discounted cash price for the code in the hospital's file. A bill can add services billed separately, such as the doctor's fee, and inpatient care is priced differently, so a difference is a question to ask, not proof of an error. Medicare: national 2026 rate, for reference.
