Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 64721 — Neuroplasty and/or transposition; median nerve at carpal tunnel). 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 Carpal Tunnel Surgery Visit Costs Vary Across Nevada
Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, driven by the state's rapid population growth and concentrated urban development. The growing ambulatory surgery center market in Las Vegas creates competitive pricing pressures that benefit patients seeking cost-effective carpal tunnel procedures.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Las Vegas and Reno concentrate most of Nevada's hand surgeons, while rural counties often lack specialized orthopedic services entirely. Patients in rural areas like Elko or Ely may need to travel significant distances for carpal tunnel surgery, potentially adding travel costs but sometimes finding lower procedure fees. The urban-rural divide creates access challenges but also cost variations of several hundred dollars for the same procedure.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient departments in Nevada typically charge higher facility fees than independent surgery centers, particularly at major systems like Sunrise Health and HCA facilities. Free-standing ambulatory surgery centers have expanded rapidly in Las Vegas, creating competitive pressure on pricing for routine procedures like carpal tunnel release. Rural hospitals often have higher per-case costs due to lower surgical volumes but may offer more flexible payment arrangements.
Insurance Market Competition in Nevada
Strong competition between UHC, Anthem, and Aetna in Nevada's major markets helps keep negotiated rates reasonable for specialized procedures. The state's relatively concentrated population in two major metros allows insurers to build robust provider networks with competitive contract terms. Rural areas have fewer insurer options, which can lead to higher negotiated rates due to limited provider alternatives.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada
With over 2,500 providers offering carpal tunnel services, Nevada has adequate specialist availability in urban areas but significant shortages in rural regions. The concentration of hand surgeons in Las Vegas and Reno creates competitive pricing in those markets while rural patients face limited options. Wait times for non-urgent carpal tunnel surgery are typically shorter in Nevada's urban centers, where higher provider density supports patient choice and competitive pricing.
