Cost Finder Application

Costfinder is a tool that provides the research rates for both Hospital Billing (HB) and Professional Billing (PB) components of an item/service/procedure. Please update any bookmarks or favorites to reference the new link as the old Costfinder site has been retired. Please note that you must select at least one entity (HUP, PPMC, PAH OR CCH) prior to searching for results as pricing may vary by entity. You are able to search by CPT code (preferred) or procedure name. 

You may access the CostFinder tool through http://my.med.upenn.edu/
