Things to know about your request…
- It is helpful to know the CPT code of your procedure (your provider can give this to you). If your procedure is already scheduled, our staff may be able to help get this code for you.
- Please allow up to 24 hours for some estimates as it may take extra time to obtain certain information related to your request.
Have Insurance? Start Here.
If you have commercial health insurance, your insurance company can help you obtain an estimate of what you will pay for a specific procedure. Your insurance company, even more so than our resources, is often the best place to start. Your insurance provider can determine out-of-pocket costs in advance of obtaining services, since it knows the specifics of your coverage, plan, deductibles, and co-pays. Some insurers have online tools and estimators, while others will ask you to call and speak to someone.
For your convenience, we’ve compiled links to most of the area’s larger insurance providers’ online resources. Please note that log-ins are required for some of these sites:

Comparing Prices Among Healthcare Providers
While it’s beneficial to know what a procedure might cost you, you may be interested in comparing one healthcare facility to another. Several third-party resources exist to help you compare prices. Here are links to these resources. We encourage you to use these tools to inform your decisions.
Value: Price + Quality + Safety + Service
The importance of your personal health means that price shouldn’t be the only factor influencing your decision about care. Safety and clinical outcomes are incredibly important factors in your care. And, higher price doesn’t always mean better care! We call this value. At EvergreenHealth, we believe the highest quality and safety matched with an exceptional patient experience plus the best cost = value.
Whether a healthcare facility receives national recognition by organizations such as Health Grades or is performing amongst the highest in the state on publicly reported quality measures, validation by third-party sources is key. We invite you to explore these resources to learn more about quality and safety among Puget Sound area healthcare providers.
