Self-Pay Cash Rate ($15,982) Beats Your Bill

Dallas Medical Center's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $15,982 (vs. $16,223 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 ($38,935) is $19,848 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,087) and 2.8× the $14,117 Medicare rate.
