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.

Vaxneuvance is a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for children and adults. Adults who get it usually also need a dose of Pneumovax 23 a year later.

1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 90671 ($584.00). 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.
