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 total thyroidectomy, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $13,471.74 and the lowest a median of $1,770.00. At 290 of 395 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 60240?
This code covers removing the whole thyroid gland through a cut in the lower front of the neck.
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 60240 is a bundled price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia and follow-up visits.

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.

Common questions
What is CPT code 60240?
CPT 60240 is the billing code for total thyroid removal (thyroidectomy). This code covers removing the whole thyroid gland through a cut in the lower front of the neck.
Will I need thyroid pills?
Yes, lifelong thyroid hormone replacement after total removal.
How long is the hospital stay?
Often same day or one night.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for total thyroidectomy?
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 total thyroidectomy has a median of $13,471.74 and the lowest a median of $1,770.00; at 290 of 395 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 total thyroidectomy?
Among 28 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Minnesota ($2,582.40), Montana ($3,272.00) and Wisconsin ($3,392.98), and highest in California ($33,499.20), Virginia ($30,864.32) and Ohio ($29,043.13). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
