Connecticut law (C.G.S. §19a-673): if you are uninsured, your income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level and Medicaid has turned you down, a hospital and the clinicians billing through it may collect no more than the cost of your care (its charges times its cost-to-charge ratio), which is usually well below its list price. Ask the billing office to apply it. Other states' laws.

Common hand operations such as carpal tunnel release and trigger finger release are short outpatient procedures, sometimes done in the office with local anesthesia. Fixing a broken wrist with a plate and screws is a larger operation and 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.
  • Ask whether the procedure can be done in the office or a surgery center with local anesthesia, which usually costs far less.
  • Ask whether hand therapy after surgery is included.
