How to read these prices

The negotiated price — a median of $241 here, usually $191–$298 — is the most representative figure: it is what health insurers actually pay Milwaukee-area hospitals for a PT Evaluation, averaged so a single outlier contract cannot distort it.

The chargemaster list price (median $457) is far higher. The chargemaster (list) price is the hospital's undiscounted sticker rate. Almost no one actually pays it — insurers negotiate it down and self-pay patients are usually offered the cash price — but it shows how large the discount off list can be.

The self-pay cash price (median $240) is the one you can often ask for directly. A self-pay (cash) price is what the hospital will accept from an uninsured patient who pays directly; hospitals publish one only for some services, and it is often lower than the insurer-negotiated price.

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.
