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

  • UMass Memorial Health - Milford Regional Medical Center, Inc. is the lowest-cost option at $1,012 - $1,443 below the median posted price ($2,455), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,455, 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.

How where you go changes what you pay for sinus surgery

The same sinus surgery 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
$1,042–$32,985
  • Facility fee $775–$31,029
  • Professional fee $267–$1,956

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$2,006–$8,497
  • Facility fee $1,739–$6,541
  • Professional fee $267–$1,956

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 (3) report prices above $10,058, including UMass Memorial Medical Center at $31,029, 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 $2,455 versus $2,552 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.

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 ~$2,455
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$491
Out-of-network provider $5,401+

Frequently asked questions: sinus surgery costs in Massachusetts

How much does a sinus surgery cost in Massachusetts?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $1,142, with most facilities between $623 and $2,053 (based on 30 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices start at $1,012, with a median of $2,455; outlier facilities 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 a sinus surgery in Massachusetts?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Massachusetts data is UMass Memorial Health - Milford Regional Medical Center, Inc. in Milford at about $1,012. By metro, Boston has the lowest median ($2,986). 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 a sinus surgery so much cheaper at some Massachusetts hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 3.3× (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 $2,455 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,142 - about 2.1× 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 sinus surgery 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.
