Why is the price range for BNP (Natriuretic Peptide) so wide?

Hospitals negotiate differently with different insurers, the procedure can be performed in different settings (hospital outpatient, ambulatory, inpatient), and in-network status varies plan-by-plan. The 3.2× spread between the 25th and 75th percentile in the data reflects those structural differences, not clinical ones.

What's the cash price for BNP (Natriuretic Peptide) if I don't have insurance?

The median discounted cash price across reporting Colorado hospitals is $235. Hospitals are required to offer a self-pay rate that's often less than the gross "chargemaster" charge but typically more than the lowest negotiated rate — the per-hospital table on this page shows the full spread.

How they price BNP (Natriuretic Peptide)

What affects the price

Structural and contractual factors that move the price for this code — not clinical reasons.

· Outpatient setting (hospital outpatient department, ambulatory surgery center, or office) is the single biggest non-clinical price driver — the same code in a hospital outpatient department often costs 2–4× the ambulatory-surgery-center rate.
· In-network vs out-of-network status — out-of-network claims rarely use the negotiated rates shown here.
· Facility fee — many hospitals add a separate facility fee in addition to the procedure rate; ask explicitly when calling.
· Bundled vs unbundled billing — the rate may or may not include radiology read, anaesthesia, or pathology. Ask which professional services are included.
