Gaps
- Facility price = hospital-fee rows only (no “professional” billing class, no modifier 26; where a hospital labels every row professional, the technical/global non-26 rate is used).
- Doctor fee is FROM FILE only where the hospital posts ≥10 professional rates (radiology incl. CT: modifier 26; ER and colonoscopy: no modifier); otherwise ESTIMATE (CMS 2026 MN ×1–3), not that hospital’s bill.
- VERIFY (Mayo Clinic Health System hospitals): rows are true professional lines, but most payer rates are listed as a percent of billed charges (≈95–97% of the gross charge), not a fixed contracted fee — the typical amount actually paid may be much lower. Shown as posted; ask for a Good Faith Estimate.
- Colonoscopy all-in = facility + gastroenterologist + anesthesia (00811, always ESTIMATE: CMS 2026 MN ×1–3) + pathology if a polyp is removed (88305: FROM FILE where posted, VERIFY where most rates are a percent of billed charges). A polyp removal changes the code (45380/45385) and the price.
- Safety grades: Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Spring 2026 (hospitalsafetygrade.org, accessed Oct 2026). Critical access hospitals are generally not graded.

Facility fee only — doctor/radiologist, anesthesia, and pathology fees are billed separately and are not included. Prices come from each hospital’s own posted standard-charges file, last checked Oct 2026. Negotiated median is across all insurer rates in the file; it is not your plan’s price. Your insurer (Blue Cross, HealthPartners, Medica, UCare, etc.) may pay a different rate, and your cost depends on your deductible and coinsurance. Always ask for a Good Faith Estimate.
