Level 2 Breast/Lymphatic Surgery and Related Procedures in other states
Questions
How much does level 2 breast/lymphatic surgery and related procedures cost in California? In 2024 Medicare data, level 2 breast/lymphatic surgery and related procedures (APC 5092) at 203 hospitals in California was billed at $69,153 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $8,292, of which Medicare paid $6,662. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments? Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this service in California, average charges were 8.3 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
Source: CMS, Medicare Outpatient Hospitals by Provider and Service, 2024. The allowed amount is Medicare's payment plus the patient's coinsurance. CMS omits hospitals with fewer than 11 services for privacy. About the data .
