Earwax removal cost in New Jersey without insurance

In New Jersey, the median cash price for Earwax removal is $76.63 across 41 hospitals, from $24.70 to $1,086.00. The lowest is at Virtua Memorial Hospital (Mount Holly) and 4 other hospitals. The US median is $124.01.

Why New Jersey prices look low: under state law (P.L.2008, c.60), a hospital may not charge an uninsured New Jersey resident whose family income is below 500% of the federal poverty level more than 115% of what Medicare pays for the same service. If that is you, ask the hospital's billing office to apply this limit; a separate physician fee may still apply. Other states' laws.

Earwax removal in a clinic is done in two ways: with small instruments under a microscope or light (69210), or by rinsing the ear with water (irrigation, 69209). Each code is billed per ear. Doctors, urgent care centers and hearing clinics offer it, and the visit fee is often added on top.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask whether the price is per ear and whether the visit fee is included.
  • A primary care office, urgent care or hearing clinic often costs far less than an emergency room for the same service.
  • Over-the-counter drops can soften wax, but see a clinician if you have ear pain, a hole in the eardrum or ear tubes.
