Price Transparency

Torrance Memorial is committed to providing healthcare pricing information so that patients can better anticipate and understand their financial responsibilities and make informed healthcare decisions. Billing for hospital services begins with charges, supplies and pharmaceuticals during a patient's hospital visit outlined in our chargemaster. We also provide a machine-readable file that provides pricing information, please click here for our machine-readable pricing file [CSV] (last updated June 2024). Torrance Memorial does not have "cash prices" for services. As inpatient visits typically cost more than outpatient visits, we provide a list of average charges by Diagnosis Related Groups ("DRG"), please click here for a list of average charges by Diagnosis Related Group (DRG). If you need common outpatient services, such as an X-rays or MRIs, then you can also obtain a price estimate through our price estimation tool.

Price Estimator Tool

When seeking an estimate, please have the following information available:

• Patient information
• Insurance details (i.e. insurance card)
• CPT code or Service description (CPT codes are preferable)

If you need assistance with creating an estimate using our price estimation tool, please call 310-517-4754.

Understanding pricing for medical services can be complex, however charges do not necessarily predict what a patient may pay. For insured patients, the amount a patient may owe is based on the type of health insurance and coverage benefits the patient has. For more information about your benefits or to determine your health coverage benefits, please contact your health insurance company.

For uninsured and underinsured patients, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” that explains how much your medical care will cost for pre-scheduled services. Please click here to learn more about the Good Faith Estimate [PDF]. In addition, both the machine-readable file and our price estimator include discounted prices for outpatient services. These tools do not include discounted prices for inpatient services because each patient's specific medical and financial situation is different. If you are uninsured, then the price you will pay will depend on the services you need and the amount of financial assistance you qualify for under our Financial Assistance Program. We encourage those without insurance or insurance coverage for the service they seek to contact our Business Office at 310-517-4784 to obtain more information on rates for services and to determine eligibility for discounted prices, including full financial assistance.
