Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is not 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

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.
