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
Paracentesis removes fluid from the abdomen with a needle, using ultrasound to guide it.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the procedure and guidance. Lab tests and albumin infusion are billed separately.
