Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. §144.589): a hospital may not charge an uninsured patient whose household income is under $125,000 more than the lowest amount it would be paid for the same service by a private insurer, counting the insured patient's share. If the cash price below is higher, ask the billing office to apply this limit. Each hospital's page here shows the range of insurer rates in its own file (the "Insurers pay" column), a starting point when you ask. Other states' laws.

Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) treats painful gallstones. Almost all are done laparoscopically through small cuts, often as same-day surgery. Open surgery with a larger cut and a hospital stay is used when the gallbladder is badly inflamed or scarred, and it costs more.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
  • If the surgery is planned rather than urgent, compare surgery centers, which often charge much less than hospitals.
  • Ask whether any hospital stay is included if you need to stay overnight.
