Cash or insurance?
At 18 of 18 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 is a full hearing test done in a sound booth, usually by an audiologist. It measures the softest tones you can hear through headphones and a bone vibrator, and how well you hear and repeat speech.
What the price covers
The price covers the hearing test for both ears. Tympanometry (a middle-ear test), hearing aid evaluation and fitting, and a doctor's visit are billed separately.
