Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is not below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. 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

An arm CT without contrast makes cross-section pictures of part of the arm, such as the shoulder, elbow or wrist bones. It is used for complex fractures, planning surgery and when an X-ray is unclear.

What the price covers

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