- The median here, $214.20, is 21% above the US median of $177.00.
- That is 1.6× Medicare's 2026 national rate for the same service ($136.02).
- California ranks 36th of 50 states by median, cheapest first.
- 25 of 91 hospitals list a cash price equal to their full list price, with no self-pay discount.
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.
