What 28 common medical procedures actually cost at 3 hospitals in metropolitan San Jose, CA (San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA), read from each hospital's own federally-required price-transparency file. Prices here run from about $20 for a CBC to $22,584 for a Hip/Knee Replacement.

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.
