Cash or insurance?
At 5 of 5 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
In this biopsy a needle guided by ultrasound takes tissue samples from a breast lump or area of concern, and a tiny marker clip is placed at the site. It is usually done after an abnormal mammogram or breast ultrasound.
What the price covers
The price covers the biopsy of the first lesion with ultrasound guidance and the clip. The pathologist's exam is billed separately, and a follow-up mammogram to check the clip position may also be billed separately.
