About this data.
The prices above are pulled directly from Texas Children's Hospital's machine-readable file (MRF), required under the Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR 180.50). We download the file, parse the rows for our shoppable CPT set, and publish the dollar amounts as the hospital published them. No surveys, no estimates.
Cash-pay rates are what an uninsured patient would be charged. Insurance-negotiated rates vary by payer and plan; pick a payer in the comparison tool to see plan-specific numbers.
