Outpatient: lowest $53.78, median $630.45, highest $775.50 — a 14.4× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 10 facilities here, median $775.50. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. 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.
