Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $9,585 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($1,560) Beats Your Bill

Touro Infirmary's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $1,560 (vs. $2,800 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$5,036 Above Fair BaseRate
