Frequently asked questions

How much does Spirometry with bronchodilator cost without insurance?
The median cash (self-pay) price across 2193 US hospitals is $464. Most hospitals fall between $159 and $1,202. Prices vary widely between hospitals, so it pays to compare before you book.

Why do Spirometry with bronchodilator prices vary between hospitals?
Hospitals set their own chargemaster and cash prices and negotiate different rates with each insurer, so two hospitals in the same area can charge very differently for the same service.
Is the cash price lower than using insurance?
Sometimes. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, the cash/self-pay price can be lower than the insurer-negotiated rate — ask the hospital for both.
