Question 1

Why do prices at Kessler Institute For Rehabilitation West Orange vary across procedures?

Accepted Answer

Hospital prices reflect many factors including procedure complexity, whether imaging contrast is used, anesthesia requirements, facility fees, and the physician's time. Kessler Institute For Rehabilitation West Orange publishes these prices as required by federal law under 45 CFR Part 180, and they represent the hospital's cash pay rates. Your actual cost may vary depending on your insurance plan, specific diagnosis, and any additional services required.

Does the cash pay price include the radiologist or physician reading fee?
