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

  • Brigham and Women's Hospital is the lowest-cost option at $780 - $1,225 below the median posted price ($2,005), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,005, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Freestanding ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are often 30-60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments for the same procedure and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset - ask your doctor if one is an option.

Massachusetts has the highest commercial hospital reimbursement rates in the country, driven by extreme labor costs, the dominance of Mass General Brigham (Partners HealthCare), and a regulatory environment that has struggled to contain negotiated rate growth. The state has enacted multiple price transparency and rate growth laws aimed at curbing this pattern. Self-pay cash discounts in Massachusetts tend to be proportionally larger than in other high-cost states.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $2,005 versus $2,037 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

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.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$2,005
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$401
Out-of-network provider $4,411+

Frequently asked questions: d&c (dilation and curettage) costs in Massachusetts

How much does a d&c (dilation and curettage) cost in Massachusetts?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $1,378, with most facilities between $523 and $1,873 (based on 36 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices start at $780, with a median of $2,005; outlier facilities 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 d&c (dilation and curettage) in Massachusetts?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Massachusetts data is Brigham and Women's Hospital at about $780. By metro, Boston has the lowest median ($3,616). 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 d&c (dilation and curettage) so much cheaper at some Massachusetts hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 3.6× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Massachusetts, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,005 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,378 - 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 d&c (dilation and curettage) in Massachusetts?

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.
