List price
The hospital's full charge (its "gross charge") before any discount. Few people pay it, but it is often the starting point on a bill.
Cash price
What the hospital says it accepts from patients paying without insurance.
Insurers pay
The median of the per-service rates the hospital has negotiated with insurers, shown only when at least 3 insurers report one. Your plan's rate may differ.
How to use these numbers
Uninsured or paying yourself? You can ask MetroHealth System to bill you its published cash price, and ask about financial assistance, which nonprofit hospitals must offer.
Insured, and the hospital is in your network? Your share should be based on your plan's negotiated rate, not the list price. If your bill or explanation of benefits shows the list price, ask the billing office why.
These figures summarize what the hospital publishes. They are not a quote, and they don't include separate physician bills.
Check your MetroHealth System bill for errors
The free check looks for duplicate charges, unbundling, upcoding and surprise billing. Its price comparison uses national reference pricing, separate from the hospital's published prices above.
