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.

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 64721 (Neuroplasty and/or transposition; median nerve at carpal tunnel), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

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 New Hampshire
New Hampshire's healthcare costs run roughly 11% above national averages, driven by the state's small market size and concentrated provider networks. The Granite State's unique geography creates distinct cost patterns between the Massachusetts border communities and the remote North Country regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Southern New Hampshire benefits from proximity to Boston's medical expertise, with competitive pricing in Manchester and Nashua markets. Rural areas like Coos and Carroll counties face limited surgical options, often requiring patients to travel significant distances or pay premium rates for local procedures.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center dominates much of northern and central New Hampshire, while Elliot Health System and Catholic Medical Center compete in the southern tier. Hospital-owned surgical suites typically charge 30-50% more than independent ambulatory surgery centers for identical carpal tunnel procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire
With Anthem holding significant market share alongside Harvard Pilgrim and Cigna, New Hampshire maintains moderate insurer competition that helps contain some specialist costs. The state's relatively small population limits negotiating leverage with national provider networks, contributing to above-average pricing for specialized procedures.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's 3,600+ carpal tunnel surgery providers indicate adequate specialist availability relative to the state's 1.4 million residents. This healthy supply helps moderate wait times and provides patients with multiple cost comparison options, though geographic distribution remains uneven across the state's diverse regions.
