I was recently trying to understand why the asking cost on an insurance claim for a set of hand and wrist xrays, was quite high. The provider put this on two associated bills , and the amounts looked quite steep also per my look at https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/ , according to the lookup for the two Current Procedural Terminology or CPT codes, on the invoices.
One cool thing though is, that recently I looked at the provider’s page here,
https://www.mountsinai.org/about/insurance/price-transparency and I found, their chargemaster was available and so before I have a conversation with my insurer and the provider, I figured I can do my due diligence and look up can I find my procedures in here.
Turns out I actually found my CPT codes in here!

Going to post my code here, later, for doing the filter.
