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 hemorrhoidectomy, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $6,838.70 and the lowest a median of $939.93. At 527 of 624 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.

What is CPT 46255?

A hemorrhoidectomy cuts out internal and external hemorrhoids. This code is for one area.

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 46255 is a bundled price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia and follow-up visits.

Common questions

What is CPT code 46255?

CPT 46255 is the billing code for hemorrhoidectomy (internal and external), one area. A hemorrhoidectomy cuts out internal and external hemorrhoids. This code is for one area.

How painful is recovery?

It is often quite painful for one to two weeks.

When is surgery needed?

When banding and other treatments do not help or hemorrhoids are large.

Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for hemorrhoidectomy?

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 hemorrhoidectomy has a median of $6,838.70 and the lowest a median of $939.93; at 527 of 624 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 hemorrhoidectomy?

Among 39 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Montana ($824.78), Iowa ($1,191.60) and Louisiana ($1,804.40), and highest in Ohio ($9,365.25), Massachusetts ($8,515.00) and Arizona ($8,083.68). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
