Compare hospitals → What is gallbladder removal (laparoscopic)?
Minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery to remove the gallbladder, usually for painful gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. The stay involves the operation and a short recovery, often just a day or two.
Gallbladder Removal (Laparoscopic) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 419 (without complications), classified within the Digestive diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
