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

A small number of hospitals (2) report prices above $4,892, including Northwestern Medical Center at $12,202, 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 $2,948 versus $3,075 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Setting drives most of the spread here: an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is usually meaningfully cheaper than a hospital operating room for the same procedure, when your case qualifies.

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.

In Vermont, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,948 versus a median negotiated rate of $684 - about 4.3× 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 rotator cuff surgery in Vermont?

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.
