What it is
This is open surgery to repair an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time in someone age 5 or older, when the hernia can be pushed back in (reducible). The surgeon returns the tissue to its place and strengthens the wall, usually with mesh.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; mesh may be included or listed as a separate supply. The surgeon's fee and anesthesia are billed separately.
1 row held back from this comparison
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 49505 ($3,665.00). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
