What’s in our patient price lists?
By downloading, you agree to and accept the following:
Standard hospital charges are the dollar amount a provider sets for services rendered before negotiated rates and any financial assistance. Standard charges are the same for all patients treated at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. A patient’s responsibility or cost sharing will vary depending on benefits provided by individual health insurance companies and a patient’s known out-of-pocket responsibility (i.e., deductible, co-insurance, copays). Uninsured or underinsured patients should consult with our patient financial counselors to determine whether they qualify for assistance.
At Ohio State, we’ve created online estimate tools that can help you understand your cost for health care.

You can also call us for an estimate at 614-293-2100.
Your hospital bill will reflect all of the hospital services you received during your stay or outpatient service with us. Standard hospital charges do not include professional provider fees and you may receive additional bills from those who helped with your care such as a pathologist, anesthesiologist, admitting physician, emergency physician or your surgeon.
In addition, we have provided a listing of services by DRG (diagnosis-related group). A DRG is a patient classification system for inpatient services that standardizes prospective payment to hospitals and encourages cost containment initiatives. This list shows the average total charges by DRG.
Charges can be subject to periodic changes.
