Outpatient: lowest $147.00, median $208.29, highest $283.30 — a 1.9× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 13 facilities here, median $208.29. 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 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
Pentacel combines DTaP, polio and Hib vaccines in one shot. It is given at 2, 4 and 6 months and at 15 to 18 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).
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 90698 ($182.15). 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.
