Outpatient: lowest $1,165.05, median $1,642.00, highest $3,022.20 — a 2.6× difference within the same market.

Cash or insurance?

At 10 of 11 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

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.
