Cash or insurance?

At 3 of 4 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 neck CTA uses contrast dye and CT scanning to show the carotid and vertebral arteries in the neck. It is used after a stroke or mini-stroke and to check narrowing found on an ultrasound.

What the price covers

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