Cost Estimator Tool
Our Cost Estimator Tool can provide you with an estimate for the services to be provided to you.
To request a formal estimation of services, please contact us at 833-479-5483 (domestic patients) or 1-507-284-5063 (international patients). Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday.
Prior to your call, you will need to have the following information:
- Specific services for estimate — If services have not been ordered and scheduled at Mayo Clinic, you will need to provide a description of the medical service you are seeking or the CPT procedure code, which can be obtained from your attending or referring provider.
- Insurance information — The information from your insurance card and the type of insurance.
Good faith estimates (GFEs) show the costs of items and services that are reasonably expected for your healthcare needs to help you understand and plan for your healthcare costs. GFEs are based on the best information known at the time the estimate was created.
Actual items, services or charges may differ from the GFE due to unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. There may be additional items or services recommended as part of your course of care that must be scheduled or requested separately and are not reflected in the GFE.
Factors that may alter your estimated out-of-pocket costs include, but are not limited to the following:
- The personalized nature of medicine, patient differences, unforeseen complications, additional medically necessary services, and unexpected or same-day services.
- Variations to the medical procedure codes, length of time for the procedure or surgery (including recovery), equipment, supplies, medications, and number of days in the hospital (if applicable).
- Receiving care at a different Mayo Clinic location. Charges and insurance coverage will vary between Mayo Clinic locations.
- Receiving healthcare services between the estimate date and date of service, as your remaining deductible or maximum out-of-pocket with your insurance coverage may change.
- Inaccurate coverage or benefits provided electronically from your insurance. Secondary or tertiary insurance coverages are not able to be estimated.
Good faith estimates (GFEs) are not a contract and do not require the individual to obtain the items or services from any of the providers or facilities identified in the GFE. Estimates are not a guarantee of your healthcare charges or out-of-pocket costs. GFEs are not a contract for the charges, insured amount or out-of-pocket expenses. You will be responsible for the actual amount due based on the services provided to you.
If you have insurance, your benefits will ultimately determine your out-of-pocket costs (including denied services, deductibles, copays, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums). It is your responsibility to contact your health plan to best determine your in- or out-of-network status, out-of-pocket expenses, and if any prior authorizations are required. Obtaining healthcare at providers who are not within your health plan's network will likely result in higher out-of-pocket costs. Estimates assume insurance will cover services using in-network benefits. Discounts applied to this estimate are tentative pending regulatory criteria and any required administrative approvals. Uninsured discount eligibility applies to uninsured domestic patients for medically necessary services only.
Several states have passed laws relating to healthcare pricing. For more information, see each state's price transparency page below.
