Questions

How much does level 4 gynecologic procedures cost in Colorado?

In 2024 Medicare data, level 4 gynecologic procedures (APC 5414) at 42 hospitals in Colorado was billed at $28,460 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $2,993, of which Medicare paid $2,377. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.

Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments?

Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this service in Colorado, average charges were 9.5 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
