Hand surgery cost in New Jersey without insurance

In New Jersey, the median cash price for Carpal tunnel release is $2,605.71 across 32 hospitals, from $1,952.77 to $16,437.00. The lowest is at JFK University Medical Center (Edison) and 1 other hospital. The US median is $3,490.79.

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.

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.
