What 10 common medical procedures actually cost at 5 hospitals in metropolitan Cincinnati, OH (Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN), read from each hospital's own federally-required price-transparency file. Prices here run from about $893 for an Upper Endoscopy to $6,884 for a Hip/Knee Replacement, and 9 procedures have a published self-pay cash price. Hospitals covered include THE JEWISH HOSPITAL-MERCY HEALTH, MERCY HEALTH - WEST HOSPITAL, MERCY HEALTH - FAIRFIELD HOSPITAL. Every figure is tied to a named hospital and its file's publication date. These are price references from public data — not a quote, a bill, or medical or financial advice.
Important — a price reference, not a bill
These figures are aggregated from hospitals' public price-transparency files — not a quote, a
bill, an insurance benefit determination, or medical advice. Your actual out-of-pocket cost
depends on your insurance plan (deductible, copay, coinsurance, network), the exact service and
any complications, and which hospital you use. Always confirm price and coverage with the
hospital and your insurer before care.
