Cash or insurance?
At 9 of 11 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 1 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
This is treatment of a broken distal radius, the forearm bone near the wrist, when the bone does not need to be pushed back into place and no surgery is done. Treatment is usually a splint or cast and follow-up checks.
What the price covers
The code covers the fracture care; for the treating doctor this usually includes follow-up visits over the following weeks. X-rays, the emergency room visit and casting supplies may be billed separately.
