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 ureteroscopy with lithotripsy, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $12,818.21 and the lowest a median of $1,667.53. At 428 of 514 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.

What is CPT 52353?

Ureteroscopy passes a thin scope up the ureter to break a stone with a laser.

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 52353 is a bundled price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia and follow-up visits.

Market A metro area (as the Census Bureau defines it) or, outside metro areas, a town. Each links to every hospital price there.
Hospitals How many hospitals publish a cash price for this code here. Each hospital counts once, at its lowest outpatient cash price.
Lowest The lowest cash price among those hospitals.
Median The middle cash price: half of the hospitals charge less, half charge more. One price per hospital. More
Highest The highest cash price among those hospitals. A single very high price can be an error in the file; check the median too.
Highest ÷ lowest How many times the highest cash price is above the lowest in the same market.

Common questions

What is CPT code 52353?

CPT 52353 is the billing code for ureteroscopy with laser stone breaking (lithotripsy). Ureteroscopy passes a thin scope up the ureter to break a stone with a laser.

Is a stent placed afterward?

Often; it may be billed separately.

How long is recovery?

Usually a few days.

Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for ureteroscopy with lithotripsy?

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 ureteroscopy with lithotripsy has a median of $12,818.21 and the lowest a median of $1,667.53; at 428 of 514 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 ureteroscopy with lithotripsy?

Among 33 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Wisconsin ($2,907.46), Montana ($3,396.80) and Arkansas ($3,469.77), and highest in Virginia ($14,668.26), Illinois ($14,137.60) and Ohio ($11,789.25). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
