How much does hernia surgery cost?

The average cost of hernia repair surgery in the United States is $7,750. Costs vary significantly, however, based on insurance coverage and type of hernia surgery. Inpatient hernia repair costs are usually significantly higher than outpatient procedures.

Other factors can also affect the cost of hernia repair surgery, including the following:

1. Insured or uninsured

If you are insured, your insurance provider may or may not cover a significant portion of your hernia surgery. Expect to pay the full cost of the surgery if you are uninsured. Talk to a friendly Surgical Group of North Texas representative to learn more about paying for uninsured surgeries.

2. Facility setting

Having a hernia repair surgery performed in a hospital as an inpatient will cost more than having the surgery done in an outpatient center. Talk to your doctor about which option is best for your needs and situation.

3. Location

Costs of hernia surgery may vary depending on where you live and receive the procedure. Often, those in rural areas have limited access to facilities and pay more than one would in a larger city with a variety of clinic options. Surgical Group of North Texas will give you the specific details about location when you become a patient.

Always consult with your physician regarding your symptoms and procedure options.
