Cash or insurance?
At 2 of 3 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
An upper endoscopy (EGD) uses a thin, flexible camera passed through the mouth to look at the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine. It is used to look into heartburn, trouble swallowing, bleeding or stomach pain. This diagnostic version takes no biopsy.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the procedure room and recovery. The gastroenterologist's fee and anesthesia or sedation are often billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 43235 ($1,332.20). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
