California law (Health and Safety Code §127405): if you are uninsured or have high medical costs and your family income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, a hospital may not expect you to pay more than it would expect from Medicare or Medi-Cal, whichever is greater. That can be less than the cash prices below; ask the hospital for its discount payment policy. A separate physician fee may still apply. Other states' laws.

Circumcision is a minor surgery that removes the foreskin. The code depends on age: 54150 is the common newborn procedure with a clamp or device and a numbing nerve block, while 54160 and 54161 are surgical circumcision for older children and adults. A newborn circumcision is usually done in the hospital or a doctor's office within the first days of life, and an older child or adult procedure usually needs more anesthesia, so the price is higher.
