Minor Bladder Surgery Cost in South Carolina — Compare All Hospitals

South Carolina hospitals price minor bladder surgery (Medicare DRG 663) anywhere from $27,914 to $86,193 — a $58,279 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital in Murrells Inlet; the most expensive is Anmed Health in Anderson. The state average sits at $72,325.

Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists minor bladder surgery at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent minor bladder surgery admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities.

When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. South Carolina hospitals missing from the list either don't perform minor bladder surgery in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 663 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
