What it is
This is repair of an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time, using a camera and instruments through small cuts. The surgeon pushes the tissue back and covers the weak spot, 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 general 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 49650 ($2,243.80). 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.
