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 Oregon
Healthcare costs in Oregon run roughly 9% above national averages, driven by the state's geographic challenges and provider concentration in metropolitan areas. The Cascade Range effectively divides the state into distinct healthcare markets, with Portland-area providers serving the majority of the population while rural eastern Oregon faces significant access challenges.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Portland, Eugene, and Salem contain most of Oregon's specialists, while rural counties east of the Cascades often lack local options for specialized procedures. Patients in eastern Oregon frequently travel 100+ miles for specialty care, creating additional costs beyond the procedure itself. This geographic disparity contributes to higher effective costs for rural residents despite potentially lower provider fees.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon Health & Science University, Providence Health, and Kaiser Permanente dominate the state's healthcare landscape with extensive hospital networks. Hospital-owned clinics typically charge higher facility fees than independent practices, reflecting their higher operational costs and broader service offerings. Ambulatory surgery centers provide cost-effective alternatives for outpatient procedures in major metropolitan areas.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UnitedHealthcare compete actively in Oregon's individual and group insurance markets, creating competitive negotiated rates with providers. Rural areas often have fewer insurer options, potentially leading to less competitive pricing. The state's insurance marketplace offers robust competition in urban areas while rural counties may have limited carrier participation.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With 418 active providers performing abscess drainage procedures, Oregon maintains adequate specialist availability relative to its 4.2 million residents. Provider density remains heavily concentrated west of the Cascades, with some rural areas experiencing shortages that can drive up costs and extend wait times. The state's medical schools and residency programs help maintain steady provider supply in urban markets.
