You do not say for which country you require costs, or whether state / public sector or private sector. Reference costs for the National Health Service in the UK can be had through documents linked from http://www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidanceArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4070195&chk=UzhHA3 The main document is at http://www.dh.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/07/01/09/04070109.pdf Owain |

Medical costs vary widely from place to place. For example: several years ago, I had a surgery in Oklahoma, and one month later I had exactly the same sort of surgery in Ohio. The Ohio procedure cost nearly five times as much as the one in Oklahoma. |

The best source of cost information is checking what Medicare pays. Most hospitals will base the charge on what Medicare is paying. For example, some hospitals will attempt to charge 3 times what Medicare pays to private insurances. However, of course when a Medicare patient comes, they are charged only the Medicare Price. Go to this webpage for the 2004 Medicare prices. http://www.gamedicare.com/FEE2004/index.htm. You will need to know the ICD-9 code for the procedure you are inquiring about. That can be searched by typing your diagnosis and "ICD-9" in a general web search. |
