Outpatient: lowest $85.02, median $172.70, highest $352.80 — a 4.1× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 6 facilities here, median $205.03. 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 6 of 6 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 is the highest level of office or outpatient visit for a returning patient, with high complexity decision making or at least 40 minutes of total clinician time on the visit date. It is used for serious or rapidly changing problems that may need urgent decisions.
