Why is the price range for Polysomnography (Attended Sleep Study, 4+ Channels) 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 2.4× spread between the 25th and 75th percentile in the data reflects those structural differences, not clinical ones.

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.
