Charges for 75 Most Common Types of Hospitalizations in Wisconsin: January 2012 - December 2012
(Uncomplicated Cases Only)

1. These data represent the median charges and payments for the least complicated cases. Individual variations may lead to charges that are greater than the amounts displayed here. Severely ill patients, or patients with additional medical conditions will require greater levels of medical care, and therefore will incur higher charges than reported here. 2. In most cases, Medicare payments are less than UW Hospital's cost of providing the care. 3. The charge information is for hospital services only. It does not include your doctor's fees. 4. It is important to understand that due to variations in individual physician practice patterns as well as individual patient differences, and the potential for unforeseen complications, this information should not be considered a price quote, but only an estimate. We encourage you to call our PriceLine staff at 608-263-1507 for more customized information regarding your specific case, and any other financial counseling we can provide. These staff can also provide you with estimates of physician fees for services at UW Hospital. 5.
