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

This is a simple urine dipstick test read by hand, without a microscope exam. It checks for things like protein, sugar, blood and signs of infection, and is often done right in a clinic or doctor's office.

What the price covers

The price covers the dipstick test only. A microscope exam or culture would be billed under other codes.

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 81002 ($23.45). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
