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 cholecystectomy. 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.
National vs Mississippi
Where Mississippi ranks for this CPT
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and how Mississippi is priced
Mississippi operates as one statewide payment locality, and its geographic indices are among the very lowest in the fee schedule, so Medicare-approved amounts here are close to the national floor. Jackson, the Gulf Coast, and the Delta all share identical adjustments. In a state where practice costs and wages run well below national averages, the low locality factors track the underlying economics. The statewide figures on this site therefore apply almost unchanged wherever in Mississippi you are treated.
Jackson is home to the state's academic medical center and functions as the referral point of last resort for much of Mississippi, while the Gulf Coast and cities like Tupelo, Hattiesburg, and Meridian anchor regional care. The Delta faces some of the most serious rural access challenges in the nation, with hospital closures and long distances compounding high rates of chronic illness. Border residents often use Memphis, Mobile, or New Orleans providers.
This procedure: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder through four small abdominal incisions using a camera and long instruments, most often for painful gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. It is one of the most frequently performed general surgeries in the country. Under general anesthesia the operation takes about an hour, and most planned cases go home the same day, returning to normal activity within one to two weeks.
What Is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder through four small abdominal incisions using a camera and long instruments, most often for painful gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. It is one of the most frequently performed general surgeries in the country. Under general anesthesia the operation takes about an hour, and most planned cases go home the same day, returning to normal activity within one to two weeks.
What Affects the Cost
- –Whether the surgery is planned and outpatient or done urgently during a hospital admission for a gallbladder attack changes the total dramatically.
- –An intraoperative cholangiogram, an X-ray of the bile ducts during surgery, adds imaging and radiology charges when performed.
- –Conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery, needed in a small percentage of difficult cases, changes the code, extends recovery, and usually means a hospital stay.
- –The gallbladder is routinely sent to pathology after removal, adding a lab fee.
- –Anesthesia bills separately by time, and pre-operative labs and imaging carry their own charges.
- –Ambulatory surgery centers, where available for this operation, undercut hospital outpatient pricing.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Can my surgery be done as a scheduled outpatient case, and at which facility is it cheapest?
- 2.Do you routinely perform a cholangiogram, and what does it add to the bill?
- 3.What happens to the cost if you need to convert to open surgery?
- 4.Are the anesthesia group and the pathology lab in my network?
- 5.Has prior authorization been approved for both the procedure and the facility?

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Mississippi: questions
Mississippi is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 47562 is $580.63 in an office and $580.63 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Mississippi uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $116 for the office physician line or $116 for the hospital physician line in Mississippi. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $580.63 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $6,808 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $3,663 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Mississippi ranks #13 of 51 states on the physician line (8% below the national office rate of $631.95).
