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
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,043, 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.

The University of Vermont Health Network effectively dominates Vermont's hospital market, with limited competitive alternatives statewide. Vermont's all-payer ACO model and its history of near-single-payer reform have created a more price-regulated environment than most states. Prices here are relatively compressed compared to New England neighbors, but not dramatically below the regional average.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $2,043 versus $1,600 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$2,043 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$409 |
| Out-of-network provider | $4,495+ |
