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

  • GLENCOE REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES is the lowest-cost option at $609 - $421 below the median posted price ($1,030), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $1,043, 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.

How much does a sleep study cost with Medicare in Minnesota?

Medicare's national hospital outpatient payment for sleep study is about $877 to $877 (typically near $877). After the $257 Part B deductible, you generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, about $175 on a $877 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 a sleep study cost with insurance in Minnesota?

Across 83 Minnesota hospitals, the negotiated rates commercial insurers pay for sleep study average $396 to $3,858 per hospital, with a median near $2,659. That is the amount your plan and you pay the hospital together; you owe your deductible, then coinsurance, up to your out-of-pocket maximum.

Each hospital’s figure is the average of the commercial insurers it lists. Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid rates are excluded.

How much does a sleep study cost without insurance in Minnesota?

Cash (self-pay) prices for sleep study at 103 Minnesota hospitals range from $633 to $3,258, with a median of $1,043. 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 much does a sleep study cost with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota?

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota negotiated rates for sleep study at 73 Minnesota hospitals range from $573 to $3,760, with a median near $1,399. Your own cost depends on your plan’s deductible and coinsurance, and on whether the hospital is in your network.

Includes Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Anthem plans listed by each hospital.

How much does a sleep study cost with UnitedHealthcare in Minnesota?

UnitedHealthcare negotiated rates for sleep study at 72 Minnesota hospitals range from $286 to $4,421, with a median near $3,286. If a hospital is out of network for your UnitedHealthcare plan, you may owe more than the negotiated rate, so check the network first.

How much does a sleep study cost with Cigna in Minnesota?

Cigna negotiated rates for sleep study at 49 Minnesota hospitals range from $1,100 to $4,615, with a median near $3,194. If a hospital is out of network for your Cigna plan, you may owe more than the negotiated rate, so check the network first.

How much does a sleep study cost with Aetna in Minnesota?

Aetna negotiated rates for sleep study at 44 Minnesota hospitals range from $889 to $4,551, with a median near $4,016. If a hospital is out of network for your Aetna plan, you may owe more than the negotiated rate, so check the network first.

How where you go changes what you pay for sleep study

The same sleep study 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
$1,008–$9,751
  • Facility fee $61–$5,599
  • Professional fee $947–$4,152

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$1,008–$8,834
  • Facility fee $61–$4,682
  • Professional fee $947–$4,152

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Mayo Clinic anchors Rochester and draws referral patients from across the Upper Midwest, with pricing that reflects its tertiary-care market position. Allina Health and M Health Fairview (University of Minnesota) compete in the Twin Cities. Minnesota has a reputation for efficient care delivery, but that efficiency doesn't necessarily translate to lower commercial prices in a concentrated market.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (3) report prices above $4,856, including Avera Marshall Hospital at $5,599, 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 $1,030 versus $1,834 inpatient (about 1.8× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

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.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$1,030
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$206
Out-of-network provider $2,266+

Frequently asked questions: sleep study costs in Minnesota

How much does a sleep study cost in Minnesota?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $812, with most facilities between $271 and $1,008 (based on 91 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Minnesota hospitals run $633–$3,258; 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 a sleep study in Minnesota?

Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Minnesota data is GLENCOE REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES in Glencoe at about $609. By metro, Thief River Falls has the lowest median ($1,068).

Why is a sleep study so much cheaper at some Minnesota hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 3.7× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Minnesota, the median cash (self-pay) price is $1,043 versus a median negotiated rate of $2,659 - 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 a sleep study in Minnesota?

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.
