Mississippi has among the highest uninsured rates in the country and one of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates, both of which push list prices up to offset uncompensated care. The market is anchored by UMMC (University of Mississippi Medical Center) in Jackson and by Regional One (Memphis area) for the northern tier. Most of the state is served by small community hospitals and critical access facilities.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (2) report prices above $8,130, including Greenwood Leflore Hospital at $7,885, 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 $2,398 versus $2,785 inpatient (about 1.2× more), 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.

Why is a bunion surgery so much cheaper at some Mississippi hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 3.4× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Mississippi, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,398 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,092 - about 2.2× higher. 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 a bunion surgery in Mississippi?

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.
