Endoscopic sinus surgery opens blocked sinuses through the nose, without cuts on the face. It is same-day surgery for long-lasting sinusitis or polyps. Each sinus opened is billed with its own code, so the total depends on how many sinuses are treated.

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 for the price of the whole operation, since several sinus codes are usually billed together.
  • Ask whether image guidance and a CT scan are included.
