Cash or insurance?
At 5 of 5 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
A colposcopy uses a magnifying scope to look closely at the cervix; in this version the doctor takes biopsies of the cervix and scrapes cells from inside the cervical canal (endocervical curettage). It is usually done after an abnormal Pap or HPV test.
What the price covers
The price covers the colposcopy and the sampling. The pathologist's exam of the samples and the office visit are usually billed separately.
