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.
