As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 19 facilities here, median $1,031.00. 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 11 of 15 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 soft tissue neck CT makes cross-section pictures of the throat, glands, lymph nodes and airway without contrast dye. It is less common than the contrast scan, and is used when dye cannot be given.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the scan and any contrast dye. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
10 rows held back from this comparison
They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 70490 ($1,220.60). 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.
