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 procedure combines a colonoscopy with an endoscopic ultrasound, using a special scope with an ultrasound probe on the tip. It shows the layers of the bowel wall and nearby structures, and is used to look at growths or how deep a tumor reaches.

What the price covers

The facility price covers the procedure room and recovery. The specialist's fee, anesthesia and any pathology are usually billed separately.
