Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is not 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
A porcelain or ceramic crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged, weakened or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength. It usually takes two visits, or one visit when the office mills the crown on site.
What the price covers
The fee usually covers tooth preparation, impressions or a digital scan, the dental lab's work, a temporary crown and cementing the final crown. A core buildup, root canal, X-rays and exam are billed under their own codes.
