Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for hammertoe surgery, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $7,498.53 and the lowest a median of $937.58. At 538 of 619 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CPT 28285?

What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the operating room, recovery and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesia usually bill separately.
Why prices differ

Common questions
What is CPT code 28285?
CPT 28285 is the billing code for hammertoe correction surgery. Hammertoe surgery straightens a bent toe by removing a small piece of bone or fusing the joint.
How long is recovery?
Several weeks in a special shoe.
Is each toe billed separately?
Yes.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for hammertoe surgery?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for hammertoe surgery has a median of $7,498.53 and the lowest a median of $937.58; at 538 of 619 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.
Which states have the cheapest hammertoe surgery?
Among 37 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Arkansas ($1,667.93), Georgia ($2,171.10) and Connecticut ($2,267.40), and highest in Arizona ($12,833.40), Indiana ($12,359.77) and New Mexico ($10,336.15). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
