A range means this hospital published different amounts on matching machine-readable-file lines. We show the lowest–highest posted amount because we cannot tell from the published file which line would apply to a particular visit.

"Medicare pays" is the facility (technical) rate, matching the posted facility charge; the doctor's separate professional fee is excluded throughout. "—" means Medicare has no comparable facility rate.

‡ Price taken from the hospital's inpatient list; no outpatient price posted.
