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 laparoscopic groin hernia repair, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $12,986.00 and the lowest a median of $1,270.23. At 456 of 589 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 49650?
This is repair of an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time, using a camera and instruments through small cuts. The surgeon pushes the tissue back and covers the weak spot, usually with mesh.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; mesh may be included or listed as a separate supply. The surgeon's fee and general anesthesia are billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospital outpatient departments and surgery centers, with robotic assistance, and when both sides are repaired.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 49650 includes the mesh, anesthesia and surgeon's fee, and whether it covers one side or both.

Common questions
What is CPT code 49650?
CPT 49650 is the billing code for laparoscopic inguinal (groin) hernia repair, first repair on that side. This is repair of an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time, using a camera and instruments through small cuts. The surgeon pushes the tissue back and covers the weak spot, usually with mesh.
What if hernias on both sides are repaired?
The code is for one side. A repair on both sides in the same surgery is billed as a bilateral procedure, which raises the price.
How is this different from open repair?
Open inguinal hernia repair through one larger cut is billed as 49505. Your surgeon decides which approach suits you.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for laparoscopic groin hernia 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 laparoscopic groin hernia repair has a median of $12,986.00 and the lowest a median of $1,270.23; at 456 of 589 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 laparoscopic groin hernia repair?
Among 38 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Montana ($974.40), Oregon ($1,916.25) and Minnesota ($2,311.40), and highest in South Carolina ($25,144.78), Ohio ($23,893.60) and Indiana ($16,855.00). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
