Cash or insurance?
At 0 of 4 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
Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces. It is used to treat gum disease, and this code applies when four or more teeth in one quarter of the mouth need it.
What the price covers
The fee is per quadrant and usually includes local anesthesia. The exam, X-rays, gum measurements and any antibiotic placed in the gums are billed separately.
