What this is
This is a surgical or procedural code. The published price typically covers the facility/procedure charge for performing it — the operating-room, equipment, and staff resources.
What affects the price
A surgical price almost never includes the separate bills you may receive from the surgeon, anesthesiologist, or pathologist. Ask the hospital for a bundled good-faith estimate that lists every expected charge, not just this one.

What the published prices show
Across the 4 hospitals that disclose a cash price for code 28017, the median is $253, and half of the disclosed prices fall between $218 and $370 — about a 2× difference for the same billing code. The full disclosed range runs from $218 to $618. At 100% of the hospitals that publish both, the cash price is lower than the midpoint of the disclosed insurance-negotiated rates — so paying cash can sometimes beat using insurance for this service. Confirm with your plan first.
