Cash or insurance?
At 19 of 19 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it 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
This procedure removes part or all of a nail and destroys the nail root so that part does not grow back. It is used for ingrown toenails that keep coming back.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the procedure and numbing medicine. The visit may be billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 11750 ($584.80). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
