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
A transforaminal epidural injection places steroid and numbing medicine near a specific nerve root in the lower back, using X-ray or CT guidance. It is used for pain that travels down the leg (sciatica). This code covers one spinal level.
What the price covers

1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 64483 ($1,387.68). 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.
