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

Facility classification matters as much as the hospital itself - a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. 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.

In Maryland, the median cash (self-pay) price is $1,635 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,635 - about 1× 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 deviated septum 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.
