Cash or insurance?
At 9 of 9 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 2 it is 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 coronary calcium score CT is a quick scan of the heart that measures calcium deposits in the heart's arteries, a sign of plaque. The result, a calcium score, helps estimate heart disease risk in people without symptoms. No contrast dye or IV is used.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the scan and the calcium score calculation. The reading by a radiologist or cardiologist may be billed separately.
