Appendectomy Cost in Nevada (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay
What does a appendectomy cost in Nevada?
For a commercially insured patient, an appendectomy in Nevada typically runs $2,408–$8,962 once facility and physician fees are combined. The median reported facility price across 19 hospitals is $4,133. The figures draw on CMS fee schedules and hospital price transparency data published under federal law.
Nevada's hospital market is heavily concentrated in Las Vegas (dominated by HCA Healthcare, which operates the majority of acute care beds in the valley) and Reno (Renown Health). The Las Vegas market has more facility competition than most metro areas of its size, creating genuine price variation. Rural Nevada is extremely sparse - several counties have no hospital within 100 miles. Appendectomy is largely an emergency procedure, which eliminates most price shopping. The main cost driver is surgical approach and admission status: uncomplicated laparoscopic appendectomies are increasingly performed as same-day outpatient cases at substantially lower total cost than open or complicated inpatient stays. Your primary out-of-pocket exposure is driven by your deductible and whether the facility and surgeon are both in-network.

Quick take
- Centennial Hills is the lowest-cost option at $1,154 - $2,979 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $4,133, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $13,999, including Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital at $16,103, 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 $4,133 versus $1,154 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.
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$6,223 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$1,245 |
| Out-of-network provider | $13,691+ |
Frequently asked questions: appendectomy costs in Nevada
How much does an appendectomy cost in Nevada?
Across 19 Nevada hospitals that publish prices, an appendectomy ranges from $566 to $23,005, with a median of $4,133. Most facilities fall between $1,154 and $5,618. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.
Where is the cheapest place to get an appendectomy in Nevada?
Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Nevada data is Renown Health in Reno at about $1,010. By metro, Las Vegas has the lowest median ($1,154). Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.
Why is an appendectomy so much cheaper at some Nevada hospitals?
Prices vary up to 40.6× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Nevada, the median cash (self-pay) price is $4,133 versus a median negotiated rate of $826 - about 5× higher. Asking for the cash price or 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 appendectomy in Nevada?
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.

What matters before you schedule
ASC vs. hospital
Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than ASCs or independent centers for the same appendectomy - same outcome, very different bill. Call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote at each setting you're considering.
What's on your bill
A appendectomy involves multiple providers who bill separately - typically Facility Fee, Surgeon Professional Fee, Anesthesia. Check each line item against your Explanation of Benefits to catch billing errors.
Cost by type
Which type your doctor orders for this appendectomy changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe.
What to ask before you book
Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for appendectomy before you schedule.
