Hospital The hospital that published the price, its city and the line exactly as written in its price file.

Cash or insurance?

At 2 of 2 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

This abdominal CT takes pictures before and after contrast dye. The two sets help characterize liver, kidney and adrenal masses and other findings that one scan cannot explain.

What the price covers

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