It would make sense that if you undergo a major trauma or surgery, need specialized care, or spend several days in the hospital, your trip to the ER will be relatively expensive. But why is it that someone who receives care for a minor injury and is in and out within a few hours can owe several thousand dollars?

Back in 2013, the average cost of an emergency room visit was an astonishing $1,233. So why are trips to the ER so expensive? For the most part, it boils down to two main reasons:

• Health Insurance: The cost of your treatment will vary greatly depending on if you have insurance. Typically, people with insurance pay less than those without.
• Equipment and Treatment Systems: From over-the-counter medications, like aspirin, to breathing machines, hospitals need to cover the costs of everything in the building. This means that if most people visit the ER for minor injuries, the cost for those less-expensive procedures has to be increased to help cover the price of less common, expensive treatments.
