About these prices
US hospitals must publish their prices by law. We take them from each hospital's own file. They're what hospitals charge, not what patients told us they paid, and not a quote.
Hospitals are compared on the same billing code, but what each one includes in that price can differ. Doctors, anesthesia and some tests are often billed separately and aren't included.
For insurance, we show what most plans pay the hospital, leaving out the very lowest and highest. Your own share depends on your plan.
What each hospital calls it: Ochsner American Legion Hospital, “KNEE ARTHROSCOPY/SURGERY”; CHRISTUS Ochsner Lake Area Hospital, “KNEE ARTHROSCOPY/SURGERY”; CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Patrick Hospital, “KNEE ARTHROSCOPY/SURGERY”.
