About Gallbladder Removal pricing
A Gallbladder Removal is billed as CPT 47562 and is usually a outpatient or inpatient service. Prices vary widely by metro and by hospital, which is why every figure here is tied to a specific hospital's own published file. 6 of these 26 metros have at least one hospital publishing a self-pay cash price.
The chargemaster (list) price is the hospital's undiscounted sticker rate. Almost no one actually pays it — insurers negotiate it down and self-pay patients are usually offered the cash price — but it shows how large the discount off list can be.
