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. 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
An in-lab sleep study (polysomnography) records brain waves, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rhythm and movement while you sleep overnight at a sleep center. It is used to diagnose sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. A technologist watches the study throughout the night.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the overnight study and the technologist. The sleep physician's interpretation is often billed separately.
