What it is
A laparoscopic appendectomy removes the appendix through several small cuts using a camera and instruments. It is the usual treatment for appendicitis and is most often done as urgent surgery.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery. The surgeon, anesthesia, the pathology exam of the appendix and any emergency room visit, CT scan or hospital stay are billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices depend on whether the patient goes home the same day or stays in the hospital, whether the appendix has burst, and on hospital chargemaster markups.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 44970 includes surgeon, anesthesia and pathology, and how an overnight stay changes the total.

Common questions
Will I stay in the hospital?
Some patients go home the same day or the next day; a burst appendix usually means a longer stay.
Can I compare prices before an emergency appendectomy?
Emergency care should not be delayed. Prices are still useful afterward, when reviewing the bill or asking for a self-pay discount.
Other appendectomy prices
Median hospital cash price, one per hospital.
