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 47562 — Laparoscopic cholecystectomy). 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 Gallbladder Removal Surgery Visit Costs Vary Across Idaho
Idaho's healthcare costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural provider distribution patterns. The concentration of surgical specialists in metropolitan areas like Boise creates access disparities for rural residents who may travel significant distances for Gallbladder Removal Surgery.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Boise and Coeur d'Alene concentrate most of Idaho's experienced Gallbladder Removal Surgery specialists, while rural counties often lack local surgical options. Patients in eastern Idaho may travel to Salt Lake City for specialized care, while northern residents might seek treatment in Spokane, affecting both costs and accessibility.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Saint Alphonsus and Kootenai Health dominate Idaho's hospital market, with their outpatient surgical centers typically charging higher facility fees than independent surgery centers. Ambulatory surgical centers in Idaho often provide more cost-effective options for laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures without compromising quality.
Insurance Market Competition in Idaho
Limited insurer competition between Regence BlueCross and PacificSource creates less negotiating pressure on provider rates compared to more competitive markets. This concentrated market structure can result in higher negotiated rates for surgical procedures, though Idaho's overall lower healthcare costs help offset this effect.
Physician Supply and Demand in Idaho
With 145 active Gallbladder Removal Surgery providers serving Idaho's 1.9 million residents, the state maintains adequate surgical capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply imbalance creates longer wait times and potentially higher costs in underserved areas, while urban competition helps moderate pricing.
