Cash or insurance?
At 11 of 15 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 4 it is below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
Debridement removes dead or infected tissue from a wound so it can heal. It is common for diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores, often done weekly in a wound care center.
What the price covers
The price is for up to 20 square centimeters; larger areas add 11045 for each extra 20.
