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

The prothrombin time (PT) test measures how long it takes blood to clot, and is reported with the INR, a standardized number. It is used to monitor warfarin and to check clotting before surgery or with liver disease.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the PT and INR result. The blood draw is often a separate charge; a fingerstick home or clinic INR check may be billed differently.

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 85610 ($34.80). 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.
