Cash or insurance?
At 1 of 2 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it 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 FIT test checks a stool sample for small amounts of blood that cannot be seen, using antibodies that detect human hemoglobin. It is a screening option for colorectal cancer, usually done yearly with a kit collected at home.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the lab test of the returned kit. A colonoscopy after a positive result is billed separately.
