Appendectomy Cost in Utah (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a appendectomy cost in Utah?

For a commercially insured patient, an appendectomy in Utah typically runs $2,602–$6,187 once facility and physician fees are combined. The median reported facility price across 28 hospitals is $1,455. The figures draw on CMS fee schedules and hospital price transparency data published under federal law.

Intermountain Health dominates the Utah market with over 50% of acute care beds and its own insurance arm, SelectHealth. If you're covered by SelectHealth, the posted prices here may not apply. For commercial patients not using Intermountain-affiliated plans, prices in Utah's urban Wasatch Front markets run below the Mountain West average. 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.

Example: two commercially insured patients in the same area could pay ~$1,348 and ~$2,843 for the identical procedure - a $1,495 difference driven entirely by facility choice.

Utah Appendectomy prices by facility

All prices below come from hospital chargemasters - the official price lists each hospital must publish under federal law. Gross charge is the undiscounted list price; cash price is the self-pay rate; negotiated range covers the spread across insurance contracts.

How we calculate "Your Price"

We prioritize cash price (the self-pay rate) over the negotiated rate, and only fall back to the gross charge, the inflated list price few people actually pay, when nothing else is reported.

Source: CMS hospital price transparency machine-readable files. vs Median = savings or premium relative to the state median price. Gross Charge = undiscounted list price for reference.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (3) report prices above $5,088, including Ashley Regional Medical Center at $14,730, 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 $1,455 versus $450 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.

Frequently asked questions: appendectomy costs in Utah

How much does an appendectomy cost in Utah?

Across 28 Utah hospitals that publish prices, an appendectomy ranges from $363 to $26,782, with a median of $1,455. Most facilities fall between $1,346 and $2,843. 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 Utah?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Utah data is IHC Health Services Inc., DBA Intermountain Health Delta Community Hospital in Delta at about $363. 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 Utah hospitals?

Prices vary up to 73.8× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Utah, the median cash (self-pay) price is $1,455 versus a median negotiated rate of $363 - about 4× 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 Utah?

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.
