Biggest Overcharges at This Hospital

These are the procedures where St. Tammany Parish Hospitalcharges the most compared to the federal fair-price benchmark. “They Charge” is what appears on your bill. “Gov. Benchmark” is what the government determines the doctor's work is worth.

Note:This hospital's published data mainly includes major surgical procedures.
