Where You Can Get Burned (Markup Traps)
- Outpatient surgery & OR suites carry a 1.2× markup over Medicare rates
- Commercial insurance median sits at 0.94× 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.
