How Much Does Septoplasty Cost in Seattle?

Thank you for your question. Prices vary depending on location and
surgeon but can vary anywhere from $8,000 and up. Some insurance companies may cover the procedure if you have a documented history of severe discomfort. I would advise you to
schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed
examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your
expectations are. 

 A septoplasty will not fix a broken nose or change the shape of the nose, it is performed to improve air flow dynamics through the nose  for medical necessity. The cost of a septoplasty to the patient  is very complicated due to insurance regulations. Charges for the  septoplasty surgery include operating room, anesthesia, and surgeons fee.   Even though you have a high deductible, your  insurance company would be billed the "charged amount", and then they will then pay the "allowed amount" minus any co-pays and deductibles.  The cost is also dependent on whether the surgeon and the facility are" in network" versus "out of network". You will be responsible for any co-pays and  deductibles that are applicable. A septoplasty performed in the outpatient surgery center setting will be less expensive than a hospital setting.
