What it is
This code covers removing the appendix through a cut in the lower right belly rather than with a laparoscope.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the operating room, recovery and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesia usually bill separately.
Why prices differ
Ambulatory surgery centers often charge much less than hospitals, and hospital prices for the same operation vary widely.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 44950 includes the emergency visit, CT scan, surgeon and anesthesia, since appendicitis usually starts in the ER.
