  • Arthrography ?
    23
    $4,114
    $1,869.55
    Arthrography is a method of imaging the inside of a joint. A dye is injected into a joint, highlighting areas of soft tissue and fluid. This injection is usually performed with a local anesthetic and with additional imaging to guide the needle placement. It is most commonly performed on the shoulder to diagnose fine damage to the rotator cuff muscles, but is also done on the hip, knee, ankle and elbow. After the injection, x-ray, MRI or CT images are collected. Arthrography is separated from other imaging because the injection procedure is performed in the operating room.
  • Carpal Tunnel ?
    16
    $4,355
    $4,160.65
    Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure to correct carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when nerves that travel through the wrist become compressed, resulting in pain, numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers. Surgery is performed to release ligaments in the wrist that are placing pressure on the nerves that pass through the wrist.
  • Colonoscopy ?
    92
    $2,395
    $2,377.34
    A colonoscopy is an examination of the large intestine using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the body and used to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. It is most commonly performed to screen for cancer.
  • Gallbladder ?
    17
    $9,895
    $10,921.25
    Gallbladder surgery is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is most commonly due to the presence of hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder known as gall stones. Like appendectomies, gallbladder surgery is most often performed as a laparoscopic surgery.
  • Hernia Repair ?
    14
    $8,740
    $8,448.12
    Hernia surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia in the body. A hernia is created when an organ pushes through the wall of the body cavity that normally holds it in place. Hernias most commonly occur in the abdomen, with portions of the bowel pushing through the muscle wall.
  • Knee Arthroscopy ?
    56
    $7,145
    $7,089.00
    Knee arthroscopy surgery is a procedure to repair ligament or cartilage damage to the knee. This includes meniscus repairs and collateral ligament repairs, but excludes ACL, PCL or knee replacement surgeries. These surgeries are typically arthroscopic and minimally invasive.
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy ?
    22
    $14,401
    $11,608.57
    Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure to fix damaged ligaments, tendons and muscles in the shoulder joint. Similar to knee arthroscopes, these surgeries are performed by inserting tubes through a small incision in the skin. Rotator cuff damage and shoulder impingement are the most common reasons for shoulder arthroscope surgery.
  • Tonsillectomy ?
    13
    $4,768
    $5,459.00
    Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils and adenoid glands. Persistent infection of the tonsils, known as tonsillitis, is the most common reason for removal.
  • Upper Endoscopy ?
    26
    $2,085
    $2,710.05
    An upper endoscopy is a surgical examination of the stomach or small intestines using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the mouth or nose and down the throat to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. An upperendoscopy is performed in the inpatient setting when a patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.

    $467
    $188.19
    A bone study is a specialized X-ray examination of the skeleton used to determine bone density, bone age, bone length or other characteristics of the bone. The most common bone study procedure is the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry or DEXA scan. The DEXA scan measures bone mineral density and is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
  • Cardiovascular: Echocardiography ?
    26
    $1,913
    $1,354.14
    An echocardiograph, or echo, is a special type of ultrasound used to examine the heart. An echo uses sound waves to generate images of the heart to diagnose heart diseases and evaluate heart function. Echos can also be used to measure the volume of blood that is moving through the heart and blood vessels.
  • Cardiovascular: Electrocardiography ?
    39
    $166
    $170.80
    Electrocardiography, or ECG, is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart. In the standard ECG test, ten electrodes are placed on a patient's chest and limbs. The rhythm of the heartbeat is recorded as a graph of the voltage the heart produces as it beats. Doctors use the graph to evaluate problems with normal rhythm of the heart.
  • Cardiovascular: Mobile Heart Monitoring ?
    25
    $485
    $425.94
    Mobile heart monitoring is attaching a wearable, continuously monitoring electrocardiograph. Patients usually wear the mobile heart monitor for 24 or 48 hours. It detects heart issues that occur sporadically or randomly.
  • CT scan with contrast: Abdomen/GI ?
    50
    $2,662
    $996.10
    A computerized tomography scan (CT scan) is a specialized way of creating images by taking multiple X-rays from many different angles around the body.

The x-ray machine then emits radiation toward the body and film, causing the film to develop. More dense areas of the body — such as bones — absorb or block more of the radiation, causing those areas of the film to be more underdeveloped, thus creating a detailed image of the bones. The paid amounts featured are for x-rays of the abdominal and pelvic area.

• Heart Attack

  Show/Hide Overview
  A heart attack (also called AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These measures show some of the process of care provided, if appropriate for most adults who have had a heart attack. The outpatient Heart Attack or Chest Pain measures apply to patients transferred to an acute care facility for a higher level of care. For more information, click on the column headings.
