How they price Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation

Across 81 Texas hospitals that publish a commercial negotiated rate for CPT 90791, the typical insured price for Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation runs $114 to $186 (the 25th-to-75th percentile of per-hospital medians). The Texas median is $162 — half of reporting hospitals are at or below that figure. The median discounted cash price across the same hospitals is $295, against a median gross charge of $455.

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, anesthesia, or pathology. Ask which professional services are included.

What to do next

Ask the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate — under the federal No Surprises Act, hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written estimate for scheduled care. If you're insured, ask your insurer for your expected cost-sharing in advance, confirm the hospital is in-network, and bring your insurance card.

Common questions

Short answers, derived from the data on this page. See the full FAQ for site-wide questions.

How much does Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation cost in Texas?

Across 81 Texas hospitals that publish a commercial negotiated rate, the median is $162. The middle half of hospitals fall between $114 and $186 — the 25th-to-75th percentile of per-hospital medians.

Is the doctor's fee included in these prices?

Usually not. These rates are the hospital's facility charge — the room, equipment, and hospital staff. The physician who treats you or reads your results often bills separately for their professional fee. Ask the practice whether professional fees are billed separately before you schedule.

Does insurance change what I'd pay?

Yes. The negotiated rate depends on which insurer and plan you have, and what you actually pay depends on your deductible, coinsurance, and whether the hospital is in your network. Texas hospitals publish negotiated rates for Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation under 119 different payer names. Verify coverage with your insurer before scheduling. Choose your insurance carrier above the hospital table to see per-insurer rates.

What's the cash price for Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation if I don't have insurance?

The median discounted cash price across reporting Texas hospitals is $295. Hospitals are required to publish any discounted cash price they offer self-pay patients — 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.

Is this a price quote?

No. These are rates hospitals have published under the federal price-transparency rule — they show what insurers have negotiated, not what you will be billed. Your bill depends on your plan, deductible, in-network status, and clinical circumstances. Verify the price with the hospital and confirm coverage with your insurer before scheduling.

What are my rights if the bill doesn't match?

If you're uninsured or paying cash, the federal No Surprises Act gives you the right to a written Good Faith Estimate before scheduled care — and if the final bill is at least $400 over that estimate, you can dispute it. Most insured patients are also protected from surprise bills for emergency care and certain out-of-network care at in-network facilities.

Know your rights under the No Surprises Act (CMS)

What does CPT 90791 mean?

CPT 90791 is the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code for Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation. It identifies the procedure for billing and price-disclosure purposes — every hospital's machine-readable file reports rates against this code.
