Tele Nurse Practitioner, PLLC

Not cost rated, and here is why. Surgery centres, imaging centres and urgent care clinics do not file Medicare cost reports, so no audited cost-to-charge figure exists for them and we will not invent one. They are listed here because they are usually the lower-cost setting for the same procedure: Medicare itself pays a surgery centre materially less than a hospital outpatient department for identical outpatient work. That is a reason to ask them for a price, not a guarantee they are cheaper for you. See the setting comparison.
