Outpatient: lowest $29.00, median $126.36, highest $249.00 — a 8.6× difference within the same market.

Cash or insurance?
At 6 of 7 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it 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 hands-on treatment by a therapist, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, manual traction or manual lymphatic drainage, billed in 15-minute units. It is used to reduce pain and improve movement, often alongside exercise.
What the price covers
The price is per 15-minute unit, so a visit often bills it together with other codes, such as therapeutic exercise.
