Cash or insurance?
At 16 of 20 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 2 it is 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 circumcision done with a clamp or similar device after numbing the penis with a local nerve block. It is most often done in newborn boys, usually before they leave the hospital.
What the price covers
In a hospital, the listed price for this code may be the physician's fee or a facility charge, separate from the newborn's stay. Newborn room charges and the birth itself are billed separately.
