Want to know how much local hospitals charge for procedures or surgeries? Log on to this local resource to compare charges. The Iowa Hospital Association publishes a Web site providing information on billed charges for all types of inpatient care and selected outpatient services. You can select a hospital by choosing a county or city by using the Iowa Hospital PricePoint System.

In general, your charges can be relative to the payment you owe. The Mississippi Valley Surgery Center, Davenport, IA., is an outpatient ambulatory surgery center that may offer a less expensive alternative.

If you’d like more information on what a procedure or surgery may cost, contact the patient advocate (at 563-344-6653 or via email) at the Mississippi Valley Surgery Center.

The surgery center always encourages patients to call a facility and their insurer prior to surgery to see what you may owe.
