Cost should never be the main reason for selecting a hospital or doctor, however we believe it is important to give an example of the average charges for some procedures to give customers an opportunity to see how we compare with other healthcare facilities. Individual cases may vary from this average. You may also visit the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) to see a comparison of costs with other hospitals. The PHC4 is an independent state agency charged with addressing the coast and quality of healthcare in Pennsylvania. The organization fosters competition in the health care market through he collection, analysis and dissemination of quality healthcare information.
