Compare hospitals → What is gallbladder removal (laparoscopic)?
Minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery to remove the gallbladder, usually for gallstones or inflammation, in patients with other health conditions that complicate care. The stay includes the operation plus extra monitoring during recovery.
Gallbladder Removal (Laparoscopic) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 418 (with 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.
