Before you book: three questions that change the price

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

Quick take

  • The Mercy Hospital Inc is the lowest-cost option at $1,413 - $1,481 below the median posted price ($2,894), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,894, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Freestanding ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are often 30-60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments for the same procedure and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset - ask your doctor if one is an option.

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.

Hospital Outpatient
$1,790–$29,565
  • Facility fee $825–$26,749
  • Professional fee $965–$2,816

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$4,082–$10,861
  • Facility fee $3,117–$8,045
  • Professional fee $965–$2,816

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Massachusetts has the highest commercial hospital reimbursement rates in the country, driven by extreme labor costs, the dominance of Mass General Brigham (Partners HealthCare), and a regulatory environment that has struggled to contain negotiated rate growth. The state has enacted multiple price transparency and rate growth laws aimed at curbing this pattern. Self-pay cash discounts in Massachusetts tend to be proportionally larger than in other high-cost states.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (4) report prices above $7,632, including UMass Memorial Medical Center at $26,749, 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 $2,894 versus $5,581 inpatient (about 1.9× more), 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 ~$2,894
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$579
Out-of-network provider $6,367+

Why is an ovarian cyst removal so much cheaper at some Massachusetts hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 7.6× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Massachusetts, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,894 versus a median negotiated rate of $6,805 - 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 an ovarian cyst removal in Massachusetts?

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.
