What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $3,146 on the Medicare allowed amount for laparoscopic removal of ovarian cyst. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
Medicare pays the hospital a single comprehensive amount for this procedure, covering the facility's share of the encounter including implants and supplies. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.

PE GPCI ranges from 0.892 to 1.016 in Georgia. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst and how Georgia is priced
Georgia divides into an Atlanta metro locality and a rest-of-state locality, so the fee schedule itself recognizes the cost gap between the capital region and the rest of the state. Atlanta's higher wages and rents translate into higher Medicare-approved amounts inside its locality, while Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and rural Georgia share the lower rest-of-state pricing. The split is one of the cleaner examples of a two-tier state in the fee schedule. Patients near the locality boundary can see different approved amounts a short drive apart.
Metro Atlanta concentrates the state's academic medicine and most of its subspecialists, drawing referrals from across the Southeast. Outside the metro, south Georgia has seen repeated rural hospital closures, leaving longer trips for even routine procedures in some counties. Augusta and Savannah serve as important secondary hubs, and border residents sometimes cross into Chattanooga, Tallahassee, or Jacksonville for care.
This procedure: This laparoscopic surgery removes an ovarian cyst along with the ovary or fallopian tube structures involved, through small abdominal incisions using a camera. It is performed when a cyst is large, persistent, painful, or has features that need definitive removal and testing. Under general anesthesia the operation typically takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with about one to two weeks of recovery.
What Is Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst?
This laparoscopic surgery removes an ovarian cyst along with the ovary or fallopian tube structures involved, through small abdominal incisions using a camera. It is performed when a cyst is large, persistent, painful, or has features that need definitive removal and testing. Under general anesthesia the operation typically takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with about one to two weeks of recovery.
What Affects the Cost
- –Pathology examination of the removed cyst and ovarian tissue is a separate lab charge, and suspicious findings can trigger more extensive analysis.
- –Whether one or both sides are addressed, and whether the ovary is preserved or removed, affects coding and price.
- –A frozen-section analysis during surgery, where a pathologist gives an immediate read while you are still on the table, adds a distinct pathology charge.
- –Emergency surgery for a ruptured or twisted cyst wraps the procedure into a costlier urgent hospital admission.
- –Facility fees at hospital outpatient departments exceed those at ambulatory surgery centers where this surgery is offered.
- –Pre-operative imaging, usually ultrasound and sometimes MRI, plus tumor marker blood tests, form part of the full episode cost.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Will you try to preserve the ovary, and how does that change the procedure code and cost?
- 2.Is a frozen-section pathology read planned during surgery, and what does it cost?
- 3.What happens to my bill if you find something unexpected and the surgery becomes more extensive?
- 4.Are the anesthesia provider and pathology lab in my network?
- 5.Can this be done at a surgery center instead of the hospital, and what is the difference in facility fees?
