What to do next

In an emergency, go to the nearest ER — federal law protects most insured patients from out-of-network balance bills for emergency care, and Good Faith Estimates apply to scheduled care instead. Afterward: review the bill, contact your insurer, and if you're uninsured ask about financial assistance.

Common questions

Short answers, derived from the data on this page. See the full FAQ for site-wide questions.

How much does Emergency Department Visit, High Severity cost in Texas?

Across 122 Texas hospitals that publish a commercial negotiated rate, the median is $1,854. The middle half of hospitals fall between $774 and $3,582 — the 25th-to-75th percentile of per-hospital medians.

Is the doctor's fee included in these prices?

Usually not. These rates are the hospital's facility charge — the room, equipment, and hospital staff. The physician who treats you or reads your results often bills separately for their professional fee. Ask the practice whether professional fees are billed separately before you schedule.

Does insurance change what I'd pay?

Yes. The negotiated rate depends on which insurer and plan you have, and what you actually pay depends on your deductible, coinsurance, and whether the hospital is in your network. Texas hospitals publish negotiated rates for Emergency Department Visit, High Severity under 172 different payer names. Verify coverage with your insurer before scheduling. Choose your insurance carrier above the hospital table to see per-insurer rates.

What's the cash price for Emergency Department Visit, High Severity if I don't have insurance?

The median discounted cash price across reporting Texas hospitals is $1,591. Hospitals are required to publish any discounted cash price they offer self-pay patients — often less than the gross "chargemaster" charge but typically more than the lowest negotiated rate — the per-hospital table on this page shows the full spread.

Is this a price quote?

No. These are rates hospitals have published under the federal price-transparency rule — they show what insurers have negotiated, not what you will be billed. Your bill depends on your plan, deductible, in-network status, and clinical circumstances. Verify the price with the hospital and confirm coverage with your insurer before scheduling.

What are my rights if the bill doesn't match?

Emergency care has its own federal protections: under the No Surprises Act, most insured patients can't be balance-billed for out-of-network emergency care — you pay your plan's in-network cost-sharing. Good Faith Estimates apply to scheduled care, not emergencies. If a bill looks wrong, contact your insurer and the hospital's billing office. If you're uninsured, ask the hospital about financial assistance — nonprofit hospitals are required to have a financial-assistance policy.
