Had a 12 core ultrasound guided biopsy in July. Northern New Jersey.
Doctor $450
Hospital $705
Pathologist $390
That is what they billed to my insurance and what I assume would be
billed to a self-pay patient. The actual negotiated payment made by my
insurer, Oxford Health Plans, would be considerably less in each case.
I can't get those figures from the website, just the figures noted.

I'm a Canadian and plan to go to North Dakota for a Urologist to do a ultrasound and a biopsy on the prostate. I just need the findings, treatment will be done back home. Someone suggested about $ 2500 US , does this sound in the range ? Thanks ( the waiting period at home is 2 months, ridiculous )
