Steroid injection cost in Maine without insurance

In Maine, the median cash price for Joint injection (cortisone shot) is $142.75 across 15 hospitals, from $53.55 to $1,066.70. The lowest is at MaineHealth (Norway). The US median is $416.40.

Steroid injections, often called cortisone shots, treat joint, tendon and spine pain. They are billed by where the needle goes and whether imaging guides it. A shot in a knee or shoulder in a doctor's office is at the low end, while spine injections under X-ray in a hospital cost much more. The steroid itself is often a separate charge.
