Cholecystectomy Cost in North Dakota (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a cholecystectomy cost in North Dakota?

A typical cholecystectomy in North Dakota costs $3,067–$7,314 for a commercially insured patient, including facility and physician fees. The median reported facility price across 17 hospitals is $1,830. This estimate is based on CMS fee schedules and hospital price transparency data published under federal law.

Sanford Health and CHI St. Alexius divide most of North Dakota's hospital market, with Bismarck and Fargo each effectively dominated by one system. The state's oil-economy wage growth has increased hospital labor costs, pushing prices above what the rural market structure would otherwise suggest. Critical access hospitals cover most of the rural tier. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is one of the most common ambulatory surgeries in the US, and facility type is the single biggest cost lever - ambulatory surgery centers charge 40–60% less than hospital outpatient departments for identical outcomes. Most commercial payers require prior authorization, and the surgeon and anesthesiologist bill separately from the facility, so confirming all three providers are in-network prevents unexpected out-of-network charges.

Quick take

  • Sanford Medical Center Bismarck is the lowest-cost option at $1,548 - $282 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 $1,916, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Ask whether this procedure can be done at a freestanding ambulatory surgical center - they're typically 30-60% cheaper than a hospital for identical care, and most aren't in this hospital-only dataset.

North Dakota Cholecystectomy 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.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $1,943 versus $1,830 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

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 ~$4,162
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$832
Out-of-network provider $9,156+

Frequently asked questions: cholecystectomy costs in North Dakota

How much does a cholecystectomy cost in North Dakota?

Across 17 North Dakota hospitals that publish prices, a cholecystectomy ranges from $374 to $23,928, with a median of $1,830. Most facilities fall between $1,663 and $3,582. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get a cholecystectomy in North Dakota?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our North Dakota data is PAM Cubed Rehabilitation Hospital of Fargo LLC in Fargo at about $452. By metro, Williston has the lowest median ($936). 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 a cholecystectomy so much cheaper at some North Dakota hospitals?

Prices vary up to 64× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In North Dakota, the median cash (self-pay) price is $1,916 versus a median negotiated rate of $979 - about 2× 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 a cholecystectomy in North Dakota?

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 cholecystectomy - 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 cholecystectomy 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 cholecystectomy 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 cholecystectomy before you schedule.
