Cash or insurance?
At 4 of 6 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 code covers closing a simple cut with stitches, staples or glue when the total length is 2.6 to 7.5 cm (about 1 to 3 inches) on the scalp, neck, body, arms or legs.
What the price covers
The price covers the repair. The visit, a tetanus shot and supplies may be billed separately.
