Colorado's Hospital Discounted Care law (HB21-1198): for qualifying patients with household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, hospitals and the clinicians who work in them may charge no more than the greater of the Medicare rate or the Medicaid base rate, and monthly payments are capped. That can be less than the cash prices below; ask the hospital to screen you for discounted care. Other states' laws.

A septoplasty straightens a deviated septum, the wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils, to improve breathing through the nose. It is usually done as outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and takes about an hour. It is billed under code 30520. Septoplasty is often done together with sinus surgery or with surgery on the nasal turbinates, which are billed under other codes.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask for one price that includes the surgeon, the anesthesia and the facility; they are often billed separately.
  • Ask whether the quote is for septoplasty alone or with other nasal surgery on the same day.
  • An ambulatory surgery center often costs less than a hospital operating room for the same surgery.
