Items to raise before scheduling. Things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, for example 45378 for screening colonoscopy or 70551 for MRI brain without contrast.
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate in writing.
- Ask what the quote includes and leaves out, such as supplies, contrast, or recovery.
- Ask whether separate professional bills could follow, such as a radiologist, surgeon, anesthesia provider, or ER physician.
