Geisinger’s cost estimator tool
With our fast, free tool, you can get an estimate of your cost-sharing responsibility before you receive care at Geisinger locations. You'll get the most accurate estimate available based on the information you provide. Keep in mind that an estimate is not a guarantee of your final charges. Your actual costs may vary depending on the services you need.*
If you're uninsured or need financial assistance, our patient financial counselors are here to help. Call 800-640-4206 to speak with a counselor or request an in-person appointment.

Determining your cost
Your out-of-pocket cost is based on 2 things:
- The contracted rate your insurance carrier will pay the hospital
- Any copay, deductible or coinsurance required by your benefit plan
Important terms
- Cost: The amount you'll pay for out-of-pocket services.
- Charge: The dollar amount a provider sets for services before negotiating any discounts
- Price: The total amount a provider expects to be paid for a healthcare service.
