INTEGRIS Health and Mercy (Oklahoma City) and Saint Francis Health System (Tulsa) are the primary players in Oklahoma's two major metro markets. Oklahoma has consistently high uninsured rates, and Medicaid reimbursement has historically been among the lowest in the country, both of which create upward pressure on commercial list prices. 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.
