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 urine pregnancy test checks for the pregnancy hormone hCG in urine and gives a positive or negative result by a visible color change. Clinics and emergency departments use it to confirm pregnancy or rule it out before X-rays, medicines or procedures.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the test only. The visit where it is done is billed separately.
