Steroid injection cost in Vermont without insurance

In Vermont, the median cash price for Joint injection (cortisone shot) is $123.90 across 7 hospitals, from $70.50 to $505.15. The lowest is at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (St. Johnsbury). 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.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask whether the price includes the medicine and any ultrasound or X-ray guidance.
  • Orthopedic, sports medicine and pain management offices often charge less than hospitals.
  • Doctors usually limit steroid shots to a few a year in one spot, so ask how many you might need.
