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

A prostate biopsy uses a needle to take small tissue samples from the prostate, usually guided by ultrasound through the rectum or the skin between the scrotum and anus. It is used to check for prostate cancer, often after a high PSA or abnormal exam.

What the price covers

The price covers the biopsy procedure. Ultrasound or MRI guidance, the pathologist's exam of each sample, and sedation are usually billed separately.
