Cash or insurance?

At 0 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 free T4 test measures thyroxine that is not bound to proteins, the active form of the main thyroid hormone. It is usually ordered with or after a TSH test to check for an underactive or overactive thyroid and to adjust thyroid medicine.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the free T4 test only. The blood draw and the TSH test (84443) are billed separately.
