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 $3,845, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Ask whether this procedure can be done at a freestanding ambulatory surgical center - they're typically 30-60% cheaper than a hospital for identical care, and most aren't in this hospital-only dataset.
| Coverage | Hospitals with a rate | Typical range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicare (national rate) | — | $6,176 to $6,176 | $6,176 |
| Without insurance (cash price) | 5 | $3,234 to $16,597 | $3,845 |

How much does an ovarian cyst removal cost with Medicare in Alaska?
Medicare's national hospital outpatient payment for ovarian cyst removal is about $6,176 to $6,176 (typically near $6,176). After the $257 Part B deductible, you generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, about $1,235 on a $6,176 payment, with no out-of-pocket cap unless you have supplemental coverage or a Medicare Advantage plan.
Doctor, anesthesia and pathology fees are billed separately. Medicare rates are national CMS amounts, adjusted slightly by local wage levels.
How much does an ovarian cyst removal cost without insurance in Alaska?
Cash (self-pay) prices for ovarian cyst removal at 5 Alaska hospitals range from $3,234 to $16,597, with a median of $3,845. Ask for the cash or self-pay price and for any financial-assistance discount before you book; both can be lower than the posted price.
Cash prices are the hospital’s published discounted rate for patients paying without insurance.
How where you go changes what you pay for ovarian cyst removal
The same ovarian cyst removal bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.
- Facility fee $3,234–$22,687
- Professional fee $965–$2,816
Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers
Alaska's hospital market is dominated by single-facility communities with no competitive pressure - Providence Alaska Medical Center and Alaska Regional Hospital in Anchorage are the primary exceptions. Geographic isolation and extreme logistics costs push operating expenses well above the lower-48 average, making Alaska one of the highest-price states in the country on a per-service basis.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $13,806, including Mat-Su Valley Medical Center LLC at $22,687, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Facility classification matters as much as the hospital itself - a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not.
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$3,845 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$769 |
| Out-of-network provider | $8,459+ |
Frequently asked questions: ovarian cyst removal costs in Alaska
How much does an ovarian cyst removal cost in Alaska?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $2,333, with most facilities between $1,137 and $4,345 (based on 4 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Alaska hospitals run $3,234–$16,597; 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 an ovarian cyst removal in Alaska?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Alaska data is Ketchikan Medial Center in Ketchikan at about $3,845. 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 an ovarian cyst removal so much cheaper at some Alaska hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 3.8× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Alaska, the median cash (self-pay) price is $3,845 versus a median negotiated rate of $2,333 - about 1.6× 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 an ovarian cyst removal in Alaska?
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.
