Uterine And Adnexa Procedures For Non-Malignancy Without Cc/Mcc

Across 84 GA hospitals that publish a negotiated price for this code. Each hospital's figure is the middle of the rates it publishes across its own insurance plans, so the spread within one hospital is often wider than the gap between two. “Cheapest tenth” and “dearest tenth” are the hospitals a tenth of the way in from each end, not the single cheapest and dearest — one hospital publishing a placeholder rate should not set the headline for a whole state. Every hospital, including both extremes, is in the table below.

That is a 3-fold difference for the same billing code — a gap between hospitals, not between treatments. It is worth ringing more than one.

Self-pay is what the hospital charges someone paying themselves rather than through insurance — the number to use if you have no coverage, or if this hospital is out of network. Paying self-pay usually doesn’t count toward your deductible, so it can cost less for this one service and more across a full year, if you’d have met your deductible anyway. Every other figure here is what an insurer pays, not what you would.

At 3 of the 22 hospitals here that publish a self-pay price, it is lower than what that same hospital typically accepts from an insurer — so it is worth asking for, in writing, at those. At the other 19 it is higher. Either way it is worth asking whether you qualify for financial assistance, which is a different thing and often a much larger discount.

4 of these 84 hospitals have not published an updated price file in over a year, or do not say when they last did. Hospitals are required to update at least annually, so those figures may not reflect what they charge now: South Georgia Specialty Hospital, Upson Regional Medical Center, Southeast Georgia Health System- Brunswick Campus, Southeast Georgia Health System -- Camden Campus.

These are prices the hospitals published themselves, as required by the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR 180.50). They are the hospital's share only — the surgeon, anesthesiologist and radiologist usually bill separately and do not appear in any hospital file, so treat every figure here as part of a total rather than the total. What you actually pay also depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.
