Cash or insurance?
At 10 of 10 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.
What it is
This code is the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for people 12 and older, updated each season to match circulating variants. Who is advised to get it changed in 2025, so check current guidance with a doctor or pharmacist.
What the price covers
The price is for the vaccine dose. Giving the shot is billed separately, for COVID-19 vaccines with code 90480 rather than 90471.

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 91320 ($201.00). 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.
