Hospitals report these codes with terse, inconsistent chargemaster text. This plain-English title was written by an AI model from that text and has not been reviewed by a person, so it can be wrong. The prices on this page come straight from hospital filings and do not depend on it.

See all hospitals reporting CPT 36215 →Price type
Affinity Hospital LLC’s median price of $1.4k is about the same as the median hospital's median price ($1.4k), higher than 51% of the 1,911 hospitals reporting CPT 36215. The highlighted bar is where this hospital falls; shaded is the middle 50% of hospitals.
Negotiated rates from the hospital’s own file: 4 payers, 8 plan rates. A facility fee, a professional fee, a per diem and a case rate are different bills, so each is listed on its own. Open a payer to see it across hospitals.
