The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 10060 — Incision and drainage of abscess, simple). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why Abscess Drainage Visit Costs Vary Across Nevada
Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, influenced by the state's rapid population growth and concentration of medical resources in Las Vegas and Reno metropolitan areas. The growing ASC market in Las Vegas has created more competitive pricing for outpatient procedures while rural counties continue to face access challenges.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Las Vegas and Reno dominate Nevada's healthcare landscape, with over 80% of Abscess Drainage providers concentrated in these urban corridors while vast rural counties rely on critical access hospitals and traveling specialists. This geographic disparity creates significant cost and access differences, with rural patients often traveling hours for specialized care or paying premium prices for limited local options.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics affiliated with major systems like Valley Health System and Renown Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent urgent care centers throughout Nevada. The state's tourism-driven economy in Las Vegas has led to numerous freestanding emergency departments and urgent care chains that often provide more competitive pricing for routine procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Nevada
Strong competition between UnitedHealthCare, Anthem, and Aetna in Nevada's individual and group markets has resulted in relatively competitive negotiated rates for outpatient procedures. The state's concentrated population in Clark and Washoe counties allows insurers to build robust provider networks while rural areas face more limited options and higher reimbursement rates.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada
With over 2,700 providers offering Abscess Drainage services, Nevada maintains adequate supply in urban areas but faces shortages in rural counties where patients may wait longer for appointments. This urban-rural divide affects pricing, with rural providers often charging premium rates due to limited competition while Las Vegas-area facilities compete aggressively on price and convenience.
