IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PRICE ESTIMATES:
The information below provides an estimated price for the top 20 minor surgical procedures performed on an outpatient basis at University of Washington Medical Center clinics located within the main hospital and at UWMC's Eastside Specialty Center, UWMC at Roosevelt, UW Medicine Regional Heart Center - Alderwood, UWMC Prosthetics and Orthotics Clinic, and the Center on Human Development and Disability. These estimated prices are only for the facility portion of a patient bill.To obtain a pre-service estimated average price for services or procedures not listed below, please contact the clinic or location where the services are provided. You may request that staff provide you with an estimated average price for both the facility portion and professional part of the service(s) or procedures(s) you are expected to receive.
You will be billed separately by the University of Washington Physicians (UWP) for the professional part of the procedure. The information provided below is only an estimate for the specific procedures listed. Many factors will influence the actual amount you will be billed, including whether the practitioner finds it necessary to perform more, less, or different procedures at the time of service. There may also be radiology, laboratory, pathology, or other services required that will result in additional charges.
If your procedure is covered by insurance benefits, the insurance company will decide the amount you are responsible for paying. Your actual final financial responsibility will likely vary greatly from the estimated price.
In order to understand the full impact of patient financial responsibility, it is important that you, as the patient, coordinate with your insurance company once the practitioner has identified the procedures likely to be performed.
Patients who do not have insurance coverage or are unable to pay the patient responsibility portion of their bill, and who meet certain income criteria, may qualify for financial assistance. UWMC staff can also help patients apply for public health insurance programs such as Medicaid, Basic Health, or the Washington State Health Insurance.
