Questions

How much does cataract surgery cost in Rochester?

The published self-pay price is $2,739 across 2 facilities. The US national median for CPT 66984 is $3,173.

Can I pay cash as a Canadian without US insurance?

Yes. A self-pay or cash price is the rate a hospital publishes for patients paying directly rather than through a US insurance plan. It does not require US insurance, residency, or citizenship. Confirm the quote and what it includes with the facility before you travel.

Is this the total I would pay?

Not necessarily. A published price usually covers the facility charge for that specific code. Anaesthesia, the physician's own fee, implants, imaging contrast, and follow-up are often billed separately. Ask the hospital for a written all-in quote for your case.

Will my provincial health plan reimburse this?

Provincial plans reimburse out-of-country care only in limited, usually pre-approved circumstances, and typically at their own rates rather than what a US hospital charges. Check with your provincial ministry of health before assuming any reimbursement.
