How much does nasal endoscopy cost at a hospital in Florida?

At 7 Florida hospitals that publish a cash price, the typical price for nasal endoscopy is $1,827, and most charge between $544 and $1,904. The typical rate commercial insurers have negotiated is $2,412. These are hospital prices; independent clinics, imaging centers and labs often charge less.

Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for nasal endoscopy?

At 3 of the 7 hospitals in Florida 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.

Of the hospitals whose price files we have read, the lowest published cash price is $271 at Shands Jacksonville. Confirm the price with the hospital before you book.

Does the price include the doctor?
