Cash or insurance?
At 6 of 14 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 1 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.

DTaP protects young children against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis). Children get five doses: at 2, 4 and 6 months, at 15 to 18 months and at 4 to 6 years. Older children and adults get Tdap instead.
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).
