Outpatient: lowest $441.62, median $6,588.93, highest $8,136.33 — a 18.4× difference within the same market.

Cash or insurance?
At 7 of 22 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
This code covers an advanced upper endoscopy in which a fluid collection next to the stomach, usually after pancreatitis, is drained through the stomach wall with a stent.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the endoscopy room, equipment and recovery. The doctor, sedation and any lab exam of tissue are usually billed separately.
