Cash or insurance?
At 12 of 12 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
A Pap test checks cells from the cervix for changes that could lead to cancer. This code is the liquid-based Pap read by an automated system with review by a lab specialist.
What the price covers
The price covers the lab exam of the sample. Collecting it is part of the visit, which is billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 88175 ($88.20). 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.
