About METHODIST HOSPITAL Pricing

METHODIST HOSPITAL in San Antonio, TX charges 141x or more above the government benchmark — among the most expensive across 64procedures we could compare. This data comes directly from the hospital's own published price file — they're required by federal law to share it.

What this means for your bill

If you're uninsured, out-of-network, or have a high-deductible plan, these prices directly affect what you pay. If you have in-network insurance, your insurer has likely negotiated much lower rates — but you may still owe a percentage of the hospital's high list price for your coinsurance or deductible.

Can I negotiate?

Yes. Most hospitals will reduce bills when patients present evidence. Our bill checker compares your specific charges to fair-price benchmarks and generates a dispute letter you can send to the billing department.
