Hospital The hospital that published the price, its city and the line exactly as written in its price file.

List price The hospital's full chargemaster price (“gross charge”) before any discount. Almost nobody pays it; the gap to the cash price shows what the self-pay discount is worth. More

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 is repair of an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time, using a camera and instruments through small cuts. The surgeon pushes the tissue back and covers the weak spot, usually with mesh.

What the price covers

The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; mesh may be included or listed as a separate supply. The surgeon's fee and general anesthesia are billed separately.
