FOR THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE:

More and more Americans are without health insurance and the Houston Hernia Center has responded with the most affordable fee in the nation. One single charge covers the surgeon’s fee, anesthesiologist fee, surgical center, and mesh materials. No other center offers this as affordably as the Houston Hernia Center.

The cost of a single Inguinal Hernia repair is $3900 with a $100 consultation fee that includes an ultrasound examination.

The cost of a single Laparoscopic Umbilical, Epigastric or Incisional Hernia repair is $4900 with a $100 consultation fee that includes an ultrasound examination.

These costs are often $15,000 to $20,000 less than standard charges that most surgeons and hospitals charge.

All operations (which include Inguinal, Umbilical, Epigastric or Incisional Hernias) are performed with a Non-Tension technique with Meshes. This technique has the lowest chances of recurrent hernias in the future. Tension techniques in which Meshes are Not used have the highest recurrence rates and increases the chances that a redo operation will have to be done in the future.
