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 rotator cuff repair, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $15,068.98 and the lowest a median of $2,151.36. At 450 of 564 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 29827?
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair reattaches torn shoulder tendons to the bone using a small camera, instruments and anchors through small cuts. It is done for tears that cause pain or weakness and do not improve with other treatment.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating room, recovery and often the anchors. The surgeon, anesthesia (often with a nerve block) and physical therapy are billed separately, and other work in the same surgery, such as bone shaving (29826), adds codes.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery centers, and with the number of anchors and add-on procedures.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 29827 includes the anchors and any add-on procedures such as 29826, and whether surgeon and anesthesia fees are separate.

Common questions
What is CPT code 29827?
CPT 29827 is the billing code for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair of the shoulder. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair reattaches torn shoulder tendons to the bone using a small camera, instruments and anchors through small cuts. It is done for tears that cause pain or weakness and do not improve with other treatment.
Will I go home the same day?
Most arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs are outpatient surgeries, so most patients go home the same day.
How long will I wear a sling?
Often around 4 to 6 weeks, followed by months of physical therapy. Your surgeon will give specific guidance.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for rotator cuff repair?
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 rotator cuff repair has a median of $15,068.98 and the lowest a median of $2,151.36; at 450 of 564 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 rotator cuff repair?
Among 37 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Arkansas ($2,487.64), Minnesota ($3,623.96) and Oregon ($3,795.07), and highest in South Carolina ($29,812.42), Ohio ($27,934.35) and Virginia ($27,745.20). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
