What 34 common medical procedures actually cost at 10 hospitals in metropolitan Denver, CO (Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO), read from each hospital's own federally-required price-transparency file. Prices here run from about $19 for a CBC to $14,735 for a Hip/Knee Replacement, and 22 procedures have a published self-pay cash price. Hospitals covered include PRESBYTERIAN ST LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO HOSPITAL AUTHORITY, CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO.

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.

What the Denver numbers show

The widest gap in Denver: the same Stress Test costs 41.1× as much at one hospital as at another

DENVER HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER reports $105 for a Stress Test; MEDICAL CENTER OF AURORA, THE reports $4,337 for the same billing codes, in the same metro.

Denver prices run about 48% above the national middle

Comparing each of 34 procedures against the middle price across every other metro on this site, Denver's typical negotiated rate is higher on 31 of them. The median ratio is 1.48× the national middle.

Stress Test is Denver's biggest premium; C-Section its biggest bargain

Against the rest of the country, a Stress Test here runs 298% above the $329 national middle at $1,311, while a C-Section runs 40% below its $11,816 at $7,093.

Who runs the 10 Denver-area hospitals behind these prices

3 non-profit, 3 for-profit, 3 government-run, with 1 not in CMS's general-information register. The largest is PRESBYTERIAN ST LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER at 680 beds. Ownership matters to a price file: for-profit chains and non-profit systems publish self-pay cash prices at very different rates.

22 of 34 Denver procedures have a published self-pay cash price

The largest published cash discount here is on an Upper Endoscopy: $1,425 cash against a $3,420 negotiated rate, 58% lower. Hospitals are not required to offer a cash price and most publish one only for outpatient imaging and lab work.

The Denver files behind this page span October 2025 to April 2026

Hospitals republish their Standard Charges file roughly once a year and each carries its own date, so these figures were not all filed at the same moment. Every hospital's own publication date is in its entry below.

How the negotiated, cash and chargemaster figures differ — and where each comes from — is explained on the methodology page.
