Cash or insurance?
At 11 of 11 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 covers giving a medicine through a vein over up to an hour, such as antibiotics, iron or some biologic drugs. Each additional hour is 96366; chemotherapy uses 96413.
What the price covers
The price is for the infusion time. The medicine is billed separately and often costs far more than the infusion.
