Before you book: three questions that change the price

1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

• Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $105, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
• Doctor offices and independent clinics may charge differently from hospitals for the same service and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset. Ask your doctor whether another site is an option.
