Inpatient Procedures Estimated Charges

Estimated charges for the 60 most common inpatient surgeries and procedures at Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) are listed here. As required by Ohio law, both the mean charge and the median charge are shown for each procedure.

Charges for hospital services may vary significantly depending on what tests or other procedures your doctor orders, previous test results, medical history, and other items or services unique to your specific health care needs. The estimated charges listed are only an approximation. They are not intended, nor should they be construed as, a definite or legally binding quote of charges for services to be rendered. Your actual charges could be more or less than these estimates based on the specific factors of your case.

Important Reminder

These estimates do not include physician fees billed by your surgeon, anesthesiologist, emergency specialist, pathologist, radiologist, or other physicians who may help with your care. Those charges will be billed separately. These estimates represent hospital charges only.

Mean Charge

The sum of hospital charges for all patients having the same procedure divided by the total number of cases (patients) receiving that procedure.

Median Charge

The middle value in the distribution of hospital charges for all patients receiving the same procedure. For each procedure listed, 50 percent of the bills would be greater than the median charge; 50 percent would be less than the median charge.

The estimates provided are an approximation of the total charges for a specific type of inpatient stay at MVH. They are not a legally binding quote of charges for services to be rendered. Your actual charges could be more or less than these estimates, based on the specific factors of your case. Some of these factors include:

• The need for additional testing, medications, services, or procedures ordered during your care.
• The procedure planned may not be the procedure performed based on your physician's assessment.
• Pre-existing health factors such as obesity, diabetes, and smoking may impact your medical needs.
• If you are insured, the type of insurance you have, and your deductibles or out-of-pocket limits will determine your final bill from MVH. To get the most accurate information, contact your insurance company to understand what you may owe for a test or procedure.
