Cash or insurance?
At 1 of 2 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
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair reattaches torn shoulder tendons to the bone using a small camera, instruments and anchors through small cuts. It is done for tears that cause pain or weakness and do not improve with other treatment.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating room, recovery and often the anchors. The surgeon, anesthesia (often with a nerve block) and physical therapy are billed separately, and other work in the same surgery, such as bone shaving (29826), adds codes.
