Price Transparency

Create a self-generated patient estimate

You can create your own estimate using our online tool. It has prices for over 300 often-used services. The tool is available to everyone and users can save time because it will estimate based on the insurance coverage or self-pay option selected.

Machine Readable Files

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require hospitals to make a list of standard hospital charges public via the Internet. CMS defines "standard charge" to mean the regular rate established by the hospital for an item or service provided to a specific group of paying patients.

The files are updated annually. These files are in compliance with the pricing transparency requirements for machine-readable files prescribed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These requirements require hospitals to provide several different types of charging elements. 

The standard charge information is not an estimate of your final out-of-pocket costs for services at UW Medicine. For a patient estimate, you can create a self-generated estimate using our online tool or request an estimate. For more information visit our Price Estimates & Transparency webpage.
