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

This is a yearly preventive checkup for a returning patient aged 65 or older. It includes a review of health history and medicines, a physical exam, counseling and ordering age-appropriate screenings.

What the price covers

The price covers the preventive visit itself. Lab tests, vaccines and screening tests ordered during the visit are billed separately, and treating a new problem at the same visit may add a separate office visit charge.
