About This Procedure

Why do these costs look low?

These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates β€” the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
