Terms

Estimates, not bills. iHealth provides estimated prices derived from hospitals' published machine-readable files. These are not quotes, guarantees, or bills. Your actual cost depends on your specific plan, benefits, in-network status, and the care you receive.

Always confirm the exact procedure code, facility fee, and any separately billed services (anesthesia, pathology, radiology) directly with your provider, facility, and insurer before care.

Procedure names. Names displayed on iHealth are either our own consumer-friendly text or descriptors published by CMS (HCPCS Level II, MS-DRG), which are US government works in the public domain. Our own text is generated by a language model from the descriptions hospitals publish in their machine-readable files; every name is checked automatically before it is published — for reproduced source wording, and against a confidence floor below which we store no name at all — and we review samples by hand. It is written for shopping and comparison, not as medical advice, and it is not a clinician's description of your care. We do not display AMA CPT descriptor text, and we do not relay hospitals' own published wording for CPT items — hospitals commonly publish the AMA descriptor verbatim, and republishing it would not become permissible by passing through them. Where we have no name we are entitled to display, we show the code number itself (for example “CPT 45378”) rather than borrowed wording. We also publish no consumer name for temporary, emerging-technology or quality-reporting codes, because a fluent name would imply a settled service you can shop for. CPT® codes are numeric identifiers; CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association.

iHealth is provided "as is" without warranty. We work to keep data fresh and show the data date on every price, but published files can be incomplete or out of date.
