Cash or insurance?
At 3 of 4 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 is the first repair of a hernia in the front wall of the abdomen, such as an umbilical (belly button), ventral or incisional hernia, when the total defect is under 3 cm and the tissue can be pushed back in. The code applies to open, laparoscopic or robotic repair.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; for this code, mesh placement is part of the repair, though the mesh itself may be listed as a supply. The surgeon's fee and anesthesia are billed separately.
