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 30520 — Septoplasty or submucous resection). 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 30520 covers
Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 30520 (Septoplasty or submucous resection), 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 Septoplasty Visit Costs Vary Across Nevada
Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, influenced by the state's rapid population growth and concentration of providers in Las Vegas and Reno metropolitan areas. The growing ambulatory surgery center market in Las Vegas has created more competitive pricing options for outpatient procedures like septoplasty.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Las Vegas and Reno contain most of Nevada's ENT specialists, creating significant access challenges for patients in rural counties like Esmeralda, Mineral, and White Pine. Rural patients often face higher total costs due to travel expenses and may need to seek care in Utah or California border communities. The concentration of providers in urban areas creates more competitive pricing but longer wait times during peak seasons.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient departments at Sunrise Health, Valley Health System, and Renown Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. Las Vegas's numerous standalone surgical centers offer competitive pricing due to lower overhead costs and focus on high-volume procedures. Northern Nevada patients have fewer independent facility options, with most procedures occurring within hospital systems.
Insurance Market Competition in Nevada
UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Aetna dominate Nevada's commercial insurance market, with varying negotiated rates for septoplasty procedures across different provider networks. The Silver State Health Insurance Exchange offers additional plan options with different provider networks and cost-sharing structures. Rural areas often have limited insurer participation, reducing competitive pressure on negotiated rates.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada
With over 2,500 septoplasty providers reported in transparency data, Nevada appears to have adequate specialist availability in urban areas but shortages in rural counties. The state's continued population growth, particularly among older adults, is increasing demand for ENT services faster than provider supply. This supply-demand imbalance contributes to higher costs and longer wait times, especially for non-urgent procedures.
