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.
What CPT 30520 covers: the provider's professional fee for septoplasty. 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 Septoplasty Visit Costs Vary Across Texas
Texas septoplasty costs run approximately 4% below national averages, reflecting the state's competitive healthcare market and lower overall operating costs compared to coastal regions. The state's vast geography creates significant cost variations between major metropolitan areas and the extensive rural counties that characterize much of Texas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Metropolitan areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin concentrate most specialty surgical services, creating competitive pricing but requiring travel for rural residents. Rural Texas counties often lack local ENT surgeons, forcing patients to travel to regional medical centers for septoplasty procedures. The Rio Grande Valley and East Texas regions have particularly limited specialist availability.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Texas's large ambulatory surgery center network offers cost-effective alternatives to hospital-based procedures for septoplasty patients. Major health systems like Houston Methodist, Baylor Scott & White, and UT Southwestern typically charge higher facility fees than independent surgical centers. The state's favorable business climate has attracted numerous specialty surgical centers that focus on cost-efficient outpatient procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Texas
The presence of major insurers including UnitedHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, and Cigna creates competitive negotiated rates for surgical procedures. Texas's large employer-sponsored insurance market gives major health systems significant negotiating power with insurers. Regional insurance plans like Scott & White Health Plan offer network-specific pricing advantages at affiliated facilities.
Physician Supply and Demand in Texas
With 7864 active septoplasty providers, Texas has robust surgical capacity that helps moderate pricing through competition. The state's growing population and major medical school systems continue attracting specialists to urban markets. However, rural areas still experience surgeon shortages that can limit access and potentially increase costs for patients requiring travel.
