Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. 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

Septoplasty straightens a bent (deviated) wall between the nostrils, reshaping or removing cartilage and bone. It is done to improve breathing through the nose, not to change how the nose looks.

What the price covers

The facility price covers the operating room and recovery. The surgeon, anesthesia and procedures often done at the same time, such as turbinate reduction, are billed separately.
