Common questions

How much does EEG with sleep cost at a hospital?

At 120 hospitals that publish a cash price, the typical price for EEG with sleep is $1,076, and most charge between $358 and $3,295. The typical rate commercial insurers have negotiated is $899. These are hospital prices; independent clinics, imaging centers and labs often charge less.

Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for EEG with sleep?

At 40 of the 104 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is lower than the typical insurer rate. Remember that with insurance you pay only your share of that rate once your deductible is met, and that cash payments usually don't count toward your deductible.

Does the price include the doctor?

No. These are the hospital's own charges, often called the facility fee. The doctors involved, such as the surgeon, the anesthesiologist or the radiologist who reads a scan, usually send a separate bill.
