Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?

Use this website to compare prices for health care services in NYC. (See "What does the estimated price include?" for details.) We recommend confirming prices directly with your insurance plan. For self-pay, we recommend confirming cash prices directly with your provider.

Do my search results include all providers in NYC that offer the service I'm looking for?

No. This website includes only providers for whom we can find and verify prices. Other providers may offer the service but aren't yet listed. We're adding more providers over time — check back soon if you don't see yours.

Why isn't my insurance plan listed?

We prioritize the most common commercial insurance plans for NYC residents and employees. If your plan isn't listed, let us know — we're working to expand our coverage.

You should not use this tool to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or New York Medicaid directly for more information.

What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?

The tool includes a growing list of common health care services. If you don't see what you need, — we may be able to add it.

What does the estimated price include?

For individual services, the price reflects a single line item.

A single service may not reflect the full cost of a medical visit or procedure. Most care involves multiple services billed together and the total price depends on that full set of services.

For service packages, the estimate includes facility fees (for hospital overhead) and sometimes professional fees (for services from doctors, nurses, or lab staff).

Service package estimates include the services most commonly provided during this type of care. We list them to give you the most accurate cost estimate possible.

Your actual treatment may differ, which could affect the actual cost. Use this estimate as a guide and contact the provider directly to confirm pricing.

Your final out-of-pocket responsibility will be a combination of your insurance benefits and the price the provider has negotiated with your insurance plan.

What do the different codes in my estimate mean?

Health care billing codes, like HCPCS and Revenue Codes, provide a standardized way to describe medical services, procedures, and diagnoses, helping ensure accurate records and billing. You can ask your health care provider for the exact procedure code(s) that will be used to bill your insurance. Then you can call the member services number on your insurance card to confirm if your health plan will cover those procedure code(s).

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?

Use the calculator on each service page to estimate your costs. For the most accurate result, contact your plan directly or log into your insurance portal to check your current deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, co-pay, or co-insurance details.

How often is information in the tool added or updated?

Turquoise Health updates pricing data on a monthly cadence.

Do I need to provide any personal information for an estimate?

No. This tool does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII) to generate an estimate.

You may choose to enter your insurance information into the calculator on service pages to estimate your out-of-pocket costs, but this information will not be stored.

My health plan has out-of-network benefits. Can I use this tool to see prices for out-of-network hospitals and facilities?

No. When looking up prices with insurance, this tool only shows hospitals and facilities that are in your health plan's network. In-network providers have agreed to set prices with your insurance, so costs are generally lower and more predictable.

Some health plans (like PPOs or POS plans) may cover out-of-network care, but those costs are usually much higher and depend on what your insurance agrees to pay. Other health plans (like HMOs or EPOs) only cover in-network care.
