Both sides : lowest $5,497.50, median $5,497.50, highest $5,497.50.

Inpatient: lowest $633.22, median $3,665.00, highest $3,665.00 — a 5.8× difference within the same market.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $5,497.50 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 22 facilities here, median $4,176.15 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

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.
