34 procedures · 8 hospitals · Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA · 2,610 staffed beds across 8 facilities · files published through March 2026
What 34 common medical procedures actually cost at 8 hospitals in metropolitan Seattle, WA (Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA), read from each hospital's own federally-required price-transparency file. Prices here run from about $12 for a CBC to $35,077 for a Hip/Knee Replacement, and 17 procedures have a published self-pay cash price. Hospitals covered include SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER, SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER / CHERRY HILL, KAISER PERMANENTE CENTRAL 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.
What the Seattle numbers show
The widest gap in Seattle: the same Tonsillectomy costs 30.6× as much at one hospital as at another
VIRGINIA MASON MEDICAL CENTER reports $326 for a Tonsillectomy; SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER / CHERRY HILL reports $9,979 for the same billing codes, in the same metro.
Gallbladder Removal is Seattle's biggest premium; Chest CT its biggest bargain
Against the rest of the country, a Gallbladder Removal here runs 80% above the $6,489 national middle at $11,704, while a Chest CT runs 27% below its $310 at $227.
Who runs the 8 Seattle-area hospitals behind these prices
8 non-profit. The largest is SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER at 697 beds. Ownership matters to a price file: for-profit chains and non-profit systems publish self-pay cash prices at very different rates.
17 of 34 Seattle procedures have a published self-pay cash price
The largest published cash discount here is on an Upper Endoscopy: $1,366 cash against a $1,885 negotiated rate, 28% lower. Hospitals are not required to offer a cash price and most publish one only for outpatient imaging and lab work.
The Seattle files behind this page span December 2025 to March 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.
