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

An automated urinalysis without microscopy tests a urine sample on a machine that reads the chemical dipstick results. It checks for protein, sugar, blood, ketones and signs of infection, without a microscope exam of cells.

What the price covers

The price covers the automated chemical test. A microscope exam or urine culture is billed separately if done.
