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 and 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

An occipital nerve block injects numbing medicine, often with a steroid, near the nerves at the back of the head to treat some headaches and migraines.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the injection. The steroid or other medicine may be billed separately.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 64405 ($554.50). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
