- 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?

Mississippi has among the highest uninsured rates in the country and one of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates, both of which push list prices up to offset uncompensated care. The market is anchored by UMMC (University of Mississippi Medical Center) in Jackson and by Regional One (Memphis area) for the northern tier. Most of the state is served by small community hospitals and critical access facilities.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (2) report prices above $776, including Biloxi HMA LLC at $1,035, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band.

| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$496 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$99 |
| Out-of-network provider | $1,091+ |
Frequently asked questions: glaucoma laser surgery costs in Mississippi
How much does a glaucoma laser surgery cost in Mississippi?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $364, with most facilities between $149 and $426 (based on 19 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Mississippi hospitals run $318–$670; outlier facilities above and below that range are left out.

Where is the cheapest place to get a glaucoma laser surgery in Mississippi?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Mississippi data is Rush Medical Foundation in Meridian at about $319.
Why is a glaucoma laser surgery so much cheaper at some Mississippi hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 2.9× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Mississippi, the median cash (self-pay) price is $496 versus a median negotiated rate of $828 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. 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 Mississippi?
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.
