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

YAG laser capsulotomy treats clouding of the thin membrane behind the lens implant that can develop months or years after cataract surgery. A laser makes a small opening in the cloudy membrane to clear vision.

What the price covers

The price covers the laser treatment of one eye. Eye exams before and after and any eye drops may be billed separately, and treating the second eye is billed again.
