                              hcf cost indicator

                              Hospital treatment can be expensive. Our cost indicator gives you an idea of the typical costs for some of the most common hospital procedures.

                              You can see the average total costs and the out-of-pocket costs incurred by HCF members. You can also see how your choice of doctor and hospital affect that cost.
