Hi,
Typically, institutions do not publicly make available any prices when it comes to medical procedures unless the patient has been already seen and examined by a doctor within the facility where the procedure is contemplated.
Then, the doctor may be more specific of the actual procedure to be performed, what type of anesthesia would need to be used, approximate expected duration of the procedure, whether or not an overnight recovery stay may be recommended, etc.
With this information, the billing office may be able to provide an estimate of the cost to a particular patient.
Other than placing your specific inquiry before a specific surgeon or hospital system there's really no good way of determining costs for medical procedures in the USA.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
