"Cash price" = the hospital's published discounted_cash self-pay rate. "Gross charge" = the sticker price before any discount — what cash-pay patients are first billed and can negotiate down toward the cash rate.

Paying cash? Ask the hospital's billing office for the "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" rate and bring the figure above — it's a published ceiling you can negotiate from, not a fixed quote. Free-standing imaging centers and ASCs are frequently cheaper than hospital outpatient departments for the same code.

How to use this
