Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is 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
A diagnostic mammogram of both breasts is an X-ray exam done to look into symptoms or to follow up on something seen on an earlier mammogram. It uses more targeted views than a routine screening exam.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the imaging of both breasts, including computer-aided detection when used. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately, and 3D mammography or a breast ultrasound is billed under other codes.
