Cash or insurance?
At 2 of 2 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 1 it is below every plan's rate.

Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
This bunion surgery corrects a big toe that points toward the other toes by cutting and shifting the end of the first metatarsal bone near the toe joint, usually fixing it with a screw or pin. It is done for a painful bunion that does not improve with shoe changes or padding.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; screws or plates may be listed as separate supplies. The surgeon, anesthesia and post-surgery shoe or boot are usually billed separately.
