Complex wound repair cost — FAQ

How much does Complex wound repair cost without insurance?

The median cash (self-pay) price across 1336 US hospitals is $876. Most hospitals fall between $361 and $2,817. Prices vary widely between hospitals, so it pays to compare before you book.

Why do Complex wound repair prices vary between hospitals?

Hospitals set their own chargemaster and cash prices and negotiate different rates with each insurer, so two hospitals in the same area can charge very differently for the same service.

Is the cash price lower than using insurance?

Sometimes. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, the cash/self-pay price can be lower than the insurer-negotiated rate — ask the hospital for both.
