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 and 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 urinalysis checks a urine sample for signs of infection, kidney disease, diabetes and other problems. This version uses a manual dipstick reading plus a microscope exam of the urine for cells, crystals and bacteria.

What the price covers

The price covers the dipstick test and the microscope exam. A urine culture, if ordered, is a separate test.
