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: Broadlawns Medical Center, “Cataract surg w/iol 1 stage”; Guthrie County Hospital, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; MercyOne Newton Medical Center, “PR Rem Cataract Extracapsular Insert Intraocular Lens Prosth Man/Mech Tech”; UnityPoint Health - Iowa Lutheran Hospital, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”; UnityPoint Health - Iowa Methodist Medical Center, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”.
