Watchout

Where You Can Get Burned (Markup Traps)

Outpatient surgery & OR suites carry a 1.5× markup over Medicare rates
Commercial insurance median sits at 0.93× Fair BaseRate (1.2× Medicare), so insured patients should always compare the self-pay cash price before paying.
Even at low-cost facilities (0.96× 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.
