The Internet tool provides the average cost of each procedure for patients without insurance. It does not provide information about Medicare or private insurer reimbursements.

Users can also find data on the total number of each procedure performed, charges per day and the average length of stay for each procedure by hospital.

The Internet tool is available at oshpd.ca.gov.

Read the Sacramento Business Journal report on the surgery cost comparison tool.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
