Questions
How much does level 3 airway endoscopy cost in Connecticut?
In 2024 Medicare data, level 3 airway endoscopy (APC 5153) at 19 hospitals in Connecticut was billed at $8,028 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $1,907, of which Medicare paid $1,519. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments?
Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this service in Connecticut, average charges were 4.2 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
