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 and 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

A venous duplex ultrasound checks the veins of one arm or leg for blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) and blood flow problems. It is ordered for leg swelling or pain, and to check veins before vein treatment.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the study of one limb or a limited study. The interpretation by a radiologist or vascular specialist is often billed separately.
