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 anti-reflux surgery, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $24,399.15 and the lowest a median of $2,303.50. At 308 of 349 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 43280?
Fundoplication wraps the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus to stop acid reflux.
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
Ambulatory surgery centers often charge much less than hospitals, and hospital prices for the same operation vary widely.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 43280 is a bundled price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia and follow-up visits.

Market A metro area (as the Census Bureau defines it) or, outside metro areas, a town. Each links to every hospital price there.
Hospitals How many hospitals publish a cash price for this code here. Each hospital counts once, at its lowest outpatient cash price.
Lowest The lowest cash price among those hospitals.
Median The middle cash price: half of the hospitals charge less, half charge more. One price per hospital. More
Highest The highest cash price among those hospitals. A single very high price can be an error in the file; check the median too.
Highest ÷ lowest How many times the highest cash price is above the lowest in the same market.
Common questions
What is CPT code 43280?
CPT 43280 is the billing code for laparoscopic fundoplication (anti-reflux surgery). Fundoplication wraps the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus to stop acid reflux.
Who is it for?
People with reflux that medicines do not control or who do not want lifelong medicine.
How long is recovery?
Usually one to two weeks, with a soft diet.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for anti-reflux 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 anti-reflux surgery has a median of $24,399.15 and the lowest a median of $2,303.50; at 308 of 349 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 anti-reflux surgery?
Among 23 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Michigan ($2,742.35), Wisconsin ($2,742.35) and Minnesota ($2,881.05), and highest in Washington ($51,555.96), Idaho ($26,271.00) and Indiana ($23,359.65). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
