That gap — a 11.4x markup, or 1039% above the Medicare allowed amount — reflects chargemaster pricing, not what most insured patients actually pay.

State-level variation is significant: Ohio reports the lowest average payment at $147.00, while New York reports the highest at $182.26. Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) explain much of that spread — local malpractice premiums, practice expense, and physician work adjustments all shift the allowed amount even when the procedure is identical.

Applying RAND 2024 commercial-to-Medicare ratios specific to the Eye Surgery category (2.24x), the estimated commercial insurance price lands near $454.61, with self-pay cash discounts commonly bringing the figure closer to $659.67. Uninsured patients facing the full billed charge have the strongest leverage to negotiate — the Hospital Price Transparency Rule (effective January 2021) requires providers to publish standard charges, cash rates, and payer-specific negotiated prices. This data is for educational reference; confirm coverage and out-of-pocket exposure with your insurer before any procedure.
