Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for endoscopic cyst drainage, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $12,175.07 and the lowest a median of $1,139.88. At 359 of 402 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CPT 43240?
This code covers an advanced upper endoscopy in which a fluid collection next to the stomach, usually after pancreatitis, is drained through the stomach wall with a stent.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the endoscopy room, equipment and recovery. The doctor, sedation and any lab exam of tissue are usually billed separately.
Why prices differ
Freestanding endoscopy and ambulatory surgery centers usually charge much less than hospital outpatient departments.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 43240 includes the doctor, sedation and the lab exam of any biopsy.

Common questions
What is CPT code 43240?
CPT 43240 is the billing code for upper endoscopy with drainage of a pseudocyst through the stomach wall. This code covers an advanced upper endoscopy in which a fluid collection next to the stomach, usually after pancreatitis, is drained through the stomach wall with a stent.
What is a pseudocyst?
A collection of fluid that can form after inflammation of the pancreas.
Is this a routine endoscopy?
No, it is an advanced procedure done by specialists, often with ultrasound guidance.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for endoscopic cyst drainage?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for endoscopic cyst drainage has a median of $12,175.07 and the lowest a median of $1,139.88; at 359 of 402 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.
Which states have the cheapest endoscopic cyst drainage?
Among 23 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Georgia ($1,051.05), Arkansas ($1,104.60) and Tennessee ($1,195.92), and highest in Massachusetts ($16,017.12), Missouri ($11,543.40) and Idaho ($10,986.00). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
