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 appendectomy, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $13,056.88 and the lowest a median of $1,300.00. At 534 of 694 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 44970?
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.

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 44970?
CPT 44970 is the billing code for laparoscopic appendectomy (appendix removal through small cuts). 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.
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.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for appendectomy?
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 appendectomy has a median of $13,056.88 and the lowest a median of $1,300.00; at 534 of 694 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 appendectomy?
Among 39 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Montana ($1,376.80), Oklahoma ($2,214.10) and Tennessee ($3,430.24), and highest in South Carolina ($18,643.74), Virginia ($17,536.05) and Ohio ($17,444.70). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
