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. 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 Hib vaccine (ActHIB or Hiberix) protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b, which caused meningitis in young children before vaccination. It is a four-dose series: at 2, 4 and 6 months and at 12 to 15 months.

What the price covers

The price is for the vaccine dose. Giving the shot is usually a separate line (code 90471 for the first vaccine of the visit, 90472 for each additional one).

2 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 90648 ($40.64). 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.
