Your estimate reflects the hospital fee for the service or procedure you selected at the care location you selected. A hospital fee includes the cost for hospital facilities, such as room and board, supplies and equipment, as well as the use of hospital non-physician resources. It is not a complete estimate of your care cost.

At Johns Hopkins Medicine, it’s our goal to bring transparency to our pricing and help patients better prepare for planned medical services. Your actual charges may be different from the estimated charges. This depends on the services you receive and the coverage provided by your insurance plan(s). If you have insurance, your benefits will determine the amount you owe (including deductibles, copay, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum payments).

Your estimate does not include professional fees and certain other costs related to your visit. Professional fees are fees for services provided or ordered by physicians, such as consultations, physical exams and labs.

The estimate does not include the cost of medications, homecare services, durable medical equipment or services that may be provided by Johns Hopkins member organizations not considered part of a hospital facility.

Once you fill out your information in the cost estimate tool, you will receive a total for your portion of the hospital fee. If you provided insurance information, your total will reflect the amount you would owe after your insurance provider pays its share.

Please know that we use information provided by your insurance carrier for your deductible, copay and coinsurance. In some cases, the benefits information in our system may not be current with what your insurance provider has on file. We advise our patients to connect with their insurance provider to get up-to-date information related to their out-of-pocket costs.

Without insurance, you may be responsible for the full cost of the hospital fee. If you are in need of financial assistance, please see our Financial Assistance and Payment Plans section.
