Why your number may differ
What affects your price
The range above is what insurers have negotiated. Four things move where you land inside it.
In-network vs out-of-network
In-network rates are pre-negotiated. Out-of-network can run several times higher and may not count toward your deductible.
Facility vs office setting
Hospital outpatient departments bill a facility fee on top of the physician fee. A freestanding clinic or ASC is usually cheaper.
Your deductible & coinsurance
If you haven't met your deductible, you may owe the full negotiated rate. After it, you pay only your coinsurance share.
Screening vs diagnostic
A screening procedure is preventive, often $0 to you. If something is found or you have symptoms, it's billed as diagnostic.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial (Percutaneous Lead Placement) costs in Chicago, IL: FAQ
How much does a Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial (Percutaneous Lead Placement) cost in Chicago, IL?
In-network negotiated rates run from $50 to $16,695, with a median around $525. What you actually pay depends on your plan and whether you've met your deductible.
Why do prices vary so much for the same procedure?
Every insurer negotiates its own rate with every facility, so two people with different plans can be billed very differently for the same code. Setting matters too: a hospital outpatient department adds a facility fee a freestanding clinic doesn't.
Is this procedure covered by insurance?
Preventive screenings are typically covered at no cost to you under most plans. A diagnostic version (ordered for symptoms or follow-up) is subject to your deductible and coinsurance, which is where these negotiated rates come in.
What does the Medicare benchmark mean?
Medicare publishes a fixed fee schedule (MPFS) of about $2,435 for this procedure here. A negotiated rate far above the Medicare benchmark is a strong signal there's room to negotiate.
