Before you book: three questions that change the price
- Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
- Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
- What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take
- Acadia Hospital is the lowest-cost option at $152 - $236 below the median posted price ($388), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $388, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Doctor offices and independent clinics may charge differently from hospitals for the same service and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset. Ask your doctor whether another site is an option.

MaineHealth is the dominant system and covers most of Maine's hospital capacity, creating a largely non-competitive market outside Portland. Maine's extensive rural hospital network includes many critical access facilities where cost-based Medicare reimbursement applies. Northern Maine is one of the most medically isolated regions in the Eastern US.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (4) report prices above $1,332, including MaineHealth at $3,281, 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 $388 versus $891 inpatient (about 2.3× more), 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 | ~$388 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$78 |
| Out-of-network provider | $854+ |
Frequently asked questions: glaucoma laser surgery costs in Maine
How much does a glaucoma laser surgery cost in Maine?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $300, with most facilities between $149 and $530 (based on 18 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Maine hospitals run $152–$2,724; 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 glaucoma laser surgery in Maine?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Maine data is Acadia Hospital in Bangor at about $152. By metro, Portland has the lowest median ($343).
Why is a glaucoma laser surgery so much cheaper at some Maine 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 Maine, the median cash (self-pay) price is $388 versus a median negotiated rate of $288 - about 1.3× 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 glaucoma laser surgery in Maine?
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.
