Outpatient: lowest $136.40, median $914.15, highest $4,617.00 — a 33.8× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 13 facilities here, median $2,342.00. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

Cash or insurance?

At 8 of 17 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 CT of the face (maxillofacial area) makes detailed cross-section pictures of the sinuses, facial bones and eye sockets. It is most often ordered for long-lasting sinus problems, before sinus surgery, or after a facial injury. No contrast dye is used.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.

16 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 70486 ($1,068.93). 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.
