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
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.
