Before you book: three questions that change the price

  1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
  2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
  3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take

  • Cheshire Medical Center is the lowest-cost option at $1,544 - $4,318 below the median posted price ($5,862), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $8,176, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Freestanding ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are often 30-60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments for the same procedure and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset - ask your doctor if one is an option.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $21,410, including MaineHealth at $24,194, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $5,862 versus $745 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Setting drives most of the spread here: an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is usually meaningfully cheaper than a hospital operating room for the same procedure, when your case qualifies.

None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$5,862
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$1,172
Out-of-network provider $12,896+

Frequently asked questions: ACL Surgery costs in New Hampshire

How much does an ACL Surgery cost in New Hampshire?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $5,862, with most facilities between $1,130 and $8,451 (based on 20 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of New Hampshire hospitals run $2,171–$18,158; outlier facilities above and below that range are left out. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get an ACL Surgery in New Hampshire?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our New Hampshire data is Cheshire Medical Center in Keene at about $1,544. By metro, Portsmouth has the lowest median ($7,934). Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is an ACL Surgery so much cheaper at some New Hampshire hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 7.5× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In New Hampshire, the median cash (self-pay) price is $8,176 versus a median negotiated rate of $20,416 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for an ACL Surgery in New Hampshire?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
