Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is 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
This upper endoscopy (EGD) looks at the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine and takes one or more tissue samples (biopsies). Biopsies can check for things like H. pylori infection, celiac disease or abnormal cells.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the procedure room and recovery. The gastroenterologist, anesthesia and the pathologist's exam of the biopsy samples are usually billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 43239 ($1,449.00). 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.
