The average billed charge in California is $392.00, which is the figure uninsured patients would most likely encounter before any negotiation or charity discount. Medicare, by statute, only reimburses the allowed amount — the balance between billed and paid is written off under provider participation agreements. Insured patients generally pay a negotiated rate that falls between these two figures; the exact amount depends on plan design, deductible status, and in-network participation. Because California sits above the national Medicare average, commercial rates in the state may also run higher than the US median.

Using RAND 2024 commercial-to-Medicare ratios for Temporary Procedures procedures, the estimated commercial insurance price in California lands near $483.34, with self-pay cash prices typically around $258.84. Before scheduling, patients can request a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act, compare cash rates from hospital Machine-Readable Files, and confirm whether the provider is in-network with their specific plan.
