Nerve Surgery & Neurostimulator Placement Cost in South Dakota — Compare All Hospitals

6 South Dakota hospitals publish gross charges for nerve surgery & neurostimulator placement (DRG 041). Prices range from $27,706 to $40,960 — roughly $13,253 apart. The cheapest is Black Hills Surgical Hospital in Rapid City; the most expensive is Monument Health Custer Hospital in Custer. The state average sits at $38,751.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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 nerve surgery & neurostimulator placement at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. South Dakota hospitals missing from the list either don't perform nerve surgery & neurostimulator placement in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 041 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.
