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.
Where this data comes from & what CPT 64721 covers
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.
What CPT 64721 covers: the provider's professional fee for carpal tunnel surgery. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.
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 Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run about 9% above the national average, driven by high provider concentrations in Portland and limited competition in rural markets. The state's geography creates significant access disparities between the I-5 corridor and eastern Oregon's vast rural counties.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Most of Oregon's 170 Carpal Tunnel Surgery providers practice in the Portland metro area, creating longer wait times and higher travel costs for patients in eastern Oregon. Rural patients often face 2-3 hour drives to reach hand specialists, sometimes making it more cost-effective to seek care in Boise or other out-of-state cities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon Health & Science University, Legacy Health, and Providence dominate the hospital market, with their outpatient surgery centers typically charging more than independent facilities. Ambulatory surgery centers have grown rapidly in the Portland area, offering competitive pricing for routine carpal tunnel procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Regence BCBS holds the largest market share statewide, followed by PacificSource's strong presence in rural areas and UnitedHealthcare's focus on employer plans. This moderate competition keeps negotiated rates relatively stable, though rural markets with fewer provider options see higher prices.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With 170 active providers for a population of 4.2 million, Oregon maintains adequate Carpal Tunnel Surgery capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply imbalance drives higher prices in underserved areas while keeping Portland-area costs more competitive.
