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 shoulder arthroscopy, collarbone end removal, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $8,797.50 and the lowest a median of $1,552.00. At 405 of 505 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.

Why prices differ

Yes, often with rotator cuff repair or decompression.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for shoulder arthroscopy, collarbone end removal?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price.
