Outpatient: lowest $22.40, median $240.10, highest $897.61 — a 40.1× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 28 facilities here, median $253.00. 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 26 of 35 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

A breathing treatment delivers medicine such as albuterol through a nebulizer or inhaler to open the airways during an asthma or COPD flare.

What the price covers

The price is for one treatment. Repeated treatments in one visit can each be billed, and the medicine may be billed separately.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 94640 ($173.50). 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.
