Cataract surgery

US hospitals must publish their prices by law. We take them from each hospital's own file. They're what hospitals charge, not what patients told us they paid, and not a quote.

Hospitals are compared on the same billing code, but what each one includes in that price can differ. Doctors, anesthesia and some tests are often billed separately and aren't included.

For insurance, we show what most plans pay the hospital, leaving out the very lowest and highest. Your own share depends on your plan.

What each hospital calls it: Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; Henderson Hospital, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; Mountainview Hospital, “Extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1 stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (eg, irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification); without endosco”; Rose de Lima Hospital, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”; San Martin Hospital, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”; Siena Hospital, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”; Southern Hills Hospital & Medical Center-Las Vegas, “Extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1 stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (eg, irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification); without endosco”; Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, “Extracapsular cataract removal with insertion of intraocular lens prosthesis (1 stage procedure), manual or mechanical technique (eg, irrigation and aspiration or phacoemulsification); without endosco”; University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, “XCAPSL CTRC RMVL W/O ECP”; Valley Hospital Medical Center, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”; West Henderson Hospital, “Removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens”.
