You told us you are paying without insurance, so the cash price below is the figure that applies to you.

Which of these is yours you said: paying cash

List price

The "gross charge" — the sticker price almost nobody actually pays. Posted under 2 line items for this procedure, at different amounts.

$282.03 – $5,856.54

Cash price Yours

What this hospital says it charges someone paying without insurance — you. Ask for it by this name.Posted under 2 line items for this procedure, at different amounts.

$197.42 – $4,099.58

Negotiated rates

78 rates across 41 insurers. What each one actually pays. None of them is your price if you pay cash.

$112.81 – $13,235.78

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $112.81 to $13,235.78. That is not an error, and it is not our arithmetic — it is what the hospital published.

Two things are happening. Rates differ between insurers and plans, as you would expect — and the same plan also appears more than once at different prices. Each rate below is shown with the hospital's own line-item description, so you can read how its file labels them. The file does not say which one you would be billed under, so we show every figure rather than pick one.

Rate by insurer, plan and line item

What each insurer pays

Sorted cheapest first, grouped by plan and then by the hospital's own line item. Plan names and line items are written exactly as the hospital wrote them. A plan that carries more than one price gets one row per price; line items the hospital priced the same are listed together once, because the file gives no reason to show one price as several.

How complete the paperwork is

What MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER actually did publish. It is a measure of their paperwork, not their care. We hold no clinical, safety, or outcome data about any hospital, and nothing here should be read as a comment on the medicine.

0.99/ 1.00

At or above our 0.50 threshold, so this hospital appears in comparisons. A passing score means the file is complete enough to compare, not that it is complete.

0.00 Publishing threshold 0.50 1.00

The four parts of MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER's disclosure-completeness score, each with its weight, its value, and what was counted.
What we checked	Weight	Scored	Added
How many common services carry a price Near full credit 68 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount.	0.40	0.97	0.39
How often the price is a dollar amount Full credit 2417713 of 2417713 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas.	0.25	1.00	0.25
How recently the file was updated Full credit Current: file states last_updated_on 2026-07-06 (100 days old).	0.20	1.00	0.20
How many rows are usable figures Full credit 0 of 2633798 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only).	0.15	1.00	0.15
Total			0.99

Each part is scored from 0 to 1 and multiplied by its weight; the four add up to the total above. Every count in the right-hand column came from the hospital's own file — we did not estimate, impute, or fill a gap on their behalf. Where the file is thin, the score is thin, and the gap belongs to the publisher.

Where these numbers came from

Provenance

Every figure above was read from a file this hospital publishes because federal law requires it. Nothing here is estimated, modelled, or supplied by us.
