Self-Pay vs. Insurance Cost Differences in California

Uninsured and self-pay patients can frequently access acl surgery at a lower cost than insured rates. Many hospitals in California offer cash discounts of 30–70% off the standard chargemaster rate.

In California, the average cash price for acl surgery is $11,578, which is 44% lower than the average list price of $20,762. This discount is typical of what self-pay patients can expect when asking for the hospital's uninsured rate.

For insured patients, the negotiated rate between your plan and the hospital determines your cost share. If you haven't met your deductible, you may pay more than the cash price. It's worth asking the hospital whether their self-pay rate is lower than what your insurance would charge — some patients save money by not filing a claim.
