Hospital prices in Washington, DC

34 procedures · 8 hospitals · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · 3,440 staffed beds across 8 facilities · files published through March 2026

What 34 common medical procedures actually cost at 8 hospitals in metropolitan Washington, DC (Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV), read from each hospital's own federally-required price-transparency file. Prices here run from about $20 for a CBC to $46,400 for a Hip/Knee Replacement, and 23 procedures have a published self-pay cash price.

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 Washington numbers show

The widest gap in Washington: the same CMP costs 56.7× as much at one hospital as at another

Who runs the 8 Washington-area hospitals behind these prices

7 non-profit, 1 for-profit. The largest is INOVA FAIRFAX HOSPITAL at 923 beds. Ownership matters to a price file: for-profit chains and non-profit systems publish self-pay cash prices at very different rates.

23 of 34 Washington procedures have a published self-pay cash price

The largest published cash discount here is on a Colonoscopy: $1,444 cash against a $2,007 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 Washington files behind this page span February 2026 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.
