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

Hemorrhoid banding places small rubber bands around internal hemorrhoids so they shrink and fall off within about a week.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the procedure and numbing medicine. The visit may be billed separately.
