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.
Your ZIP in Maryland
A ZIP lookup matters in Maryland because three different locality treatments are in play: check whether you fall in the Baltimore area, the DC suburbs like Bethesda and Silver Spring, or rest-of-state regions like Frederick, Hagerstown, and the Eastern Shore.

Everything above is a national average. The hospital you pick in Maryland moves the bill more than anything else you control.

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 1.012 to 1.073 in Maryland. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst and how Maryland is priced
Maryland's Medicare physician pricing is split geographically: Baltimore and its surrounding counties form one locality, the rest of the state another, and, unusually, the Washington suburbs including Montgomery and Prince George's counties are priced inside the District of Columbia's high-cost locality rather than either Maryland one. That three-way carve means a Rockville procedure is approved at DC-area rates while an identical one in Frederick or Salisbury is not. Baltimore-area adjustments sit above rest-of-state levels but below the DC locality. Few states have their pricing shaped this much by a neighboring jurisdiction.
Maryland is also the only state with an all-payer rate-setting system for hospital services, so hospital-side billing works differently here than anywhere else in the country, though physician fees still follow the standard Medicare schedule. Baltimore's academic medical centers rank among the most prominent in the world and draw patients globally. The Eastern Shore and western Maryland are far more rural, with patients often traveling to Baltimore, Annapolis, or across state lines.
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?

Yes. CMS splits Maryland into 2 payment localities. For this CPT the office physician fee spans $33.78 from the lowest to highest locality. A ZIP lookup matters in Maryland because three different locality treatments are in play: check whether you fall in the Baltimore area, the DC suburbs like Bethesda and Silver Spring, or rest-of-state regions like Frederick, Hagerstown, and the Eastern Shore.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $121 for the office physician line or $121 for the hospital physician line in Maryland. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $602.68 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $6,763 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $3,617 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Maryland ranks #41 of 51 states on the physician line (3% above the national office rate of $586.19).
