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

  • UM Capital Region Medical Center is the lowest-cost option at $413 - $174 below the median posted price ($587), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $545, 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.

How much does a carpal tunnel surgery cost with Medicare in Maryland?

Medicare's national hospital outpatient payment for carpal tunnel surgery is about $1,678 to $1,960 (typically near $1,819). After the $257 Part B deductible, you generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, about $364 on a $1,819 payment, with no out-of-pocket cap unless you have supplemental coverage or a Medicare Advantage plan.

Doctor, anesthesia and pathology fees are billed separately. Medicare rates are national CMS amounts, adjusted slightly by local wage levels.

How much does a carpal tunnel surgery cost without insurance in Maryland?

Cash (self-pay) prices for carpal tunnel surgery at 28 Maryland hospitals range from $413 to $1,005, with a median of $545. Ask for the cash or self-pay price and for any financial-assistance discount before you book; both can be lower than the posted price.

Cash prices are the hospital’s published discounted rate for patients paying without insurance.

How where you go changes what you pay for carpal tunnel surgery

The same carpal tunnel surgery bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Hospital Outpatient
$1,071–$6,047
  • Facility fee $403–$3,959
  • Professional fee $668–$2,088

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$1,071–$3,126
  • Facility fee $403–$1,038
  • Professional fee $668–$2,088

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Maryland operates the nation's only all-payer hospital rate-setting system through the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) - all payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and self-pay, pay the same regulated rates at each facility. This makes Maryland's cash prices more meaningful than in other states, because the discounting common elsewhere is largely prohibited. Johns Hopkins Medicine and University of Maryland Medical System anchor the academic tier.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $1,422, including Holy Cross Germantown Hospital at $1,177, 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 $499 versus $466 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.

What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$587
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$117
Out-of-network provider $1,291+

Frequently asked questions: carpal tunnel surgery costs in Maryland

How much does a carpal tunnel surgery cost in Maryland?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $355, with most facilities between $313 and $680 (based on 25 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Maryland hospitals run $413–$1,005; 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 a carpal tunnel surgery in Maryland?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Maryland data is UM Capital Region Medical Center in Largo at about $413. By metro, Baltimore has the lowest median ($666). 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 a carpal tunnel surgery so much cheaper at some Maryland hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 2.2× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Maryland, the median cash (self-pay) price is $545 versus a median negotiated rate of $355 - about 1.5× 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 carpal tunnel surgery in Maryland?

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.
