Where You Can Get Burned (Markup Traps)

Outpatient surgery & OR suites carry a 1.2× markup over Medicare rates
Commercial insurance median sits at 0.92× Fair BaseRate (1.0× Medicare), so insured patients should always compare the self-pay cash price before paying.
Even at low-cost facilities (0.92× Fair BaseRate), out-of-network or unnegotiated chargemaster bills can exceed commercial medians — confirm in-network status or request a self-pay cash quote up front.
Unnegotiated chargemaster list prices average 11.1× Medicare (14¢ true HCRIS cost per $1 gross)

At 274% FPL, you exceed the standard 400% FPL tier, though medical-hardship caps (when bills exceed 10% of annual income) may still apply.

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $10,153 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($23,692) Beats Your Bill

Sampson Regional Medical Center's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $23,692 (vs. $16,007 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Negotiate Toward $19,087 Fair BaseRate ($14,117 Medicare)

Your bill ($33,845) is $14,758 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,087) and 2.4× the $14,117 Medicare rate.
