Outpatient: lowest $8.10, median $13.47, highest $92.00 — a 11.4× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 24 facilities here, median $14.13. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

Cash or insurance?

At 14 of 14 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 12 it is 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

This stool test finds H. pylori, the stomach bacteria behind most ulcers. It shows an active infection and is used both to diagnose it and to confirm a cure.

What the price covers

The price usually covers running the stool test; the collection kit is often included.

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 87338 ($80.40). 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.
