Q:
How much does hernia operation cost?
A:
The average cost of an inguinal hernia surgery will depend on where you live, your surgeon and the type of surgery you need:
- An open hernia surgery, which tends to be the most popular of the two surgical options, can cost $4,000 to $7,500 without any sort of insurance policies. Those with a health insurance policy often find themselves paying $650 to $1,200 after insurance kicked in.
- A laparoscopic hernia surgery, which occurs in the abdomen often costing $4,000 to $10,000 without any insurance. Those with a health insurance policy often find themselves paying $700 to $2,000 after insurance kicked in.
In the end, most health insurance companies will pay for this surgical procedure as long as it’s deemed medically necessary, which means you have to provide proof you’re experiencing pain and/or discomfort.
