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
Prevnar 20 is a conjugate vaccine against 20 types of pneumococcus, the bacteria behind many cases of pneumonia, meningitis and blood infections. The CDC recommends a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for all adults 50 and older and for younger adults with certain conditions, usually as a single dose.
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); Medicare bills use G0009 instead.

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 90677 ($501.93). 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.
