Cash or insurance?
At 3 of 3 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 3 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 is the shortest office or outpatient visit for a new patient, with straightforward decision making or at least 15 minutes of total clinician time on the visit date. It is used for simple problems, such as a minor rash or a single uncomplicated question.
What the price covers
