Getting an Informal Estimate for Your Care

MyChart Patient Estimate Tool – (No log-in required)

The MyChart Patient Estimate Tool is an easy-to-use online resource to assist patients with obtaining a self-generated cost estimate based on insurance availability, coverage and benefit plan. The MyChart tool provides information on several hundred of the most frequently performed services and procedures provided at UTMB.

If you are unable to locate an option for the procedure you are interested in within the MyChart tool, please Email the Patient Estimates team: patientestimates@utmb.edu
In order to enhance the accuracy and ensure the estimate is for the appropriate treatment or procedure, please provide the exact procedure code (CPT) and the diagnosis code (ICD-10) for the services that are of interest.
This information can be provided to you by your physician or clinic.

Additional Information Regarding Your Informal Estimate:

The informal estimate is not a final or formal estimate and will not be added to your MyChart account.
Once information is provided, you will receive a response within 2-3 business days.
While the quoted prices are current prices, if you are insured, it is recommended that you call your insurance company for your contracted rates and benefits.
