Simple Pectus Excavatum Repair

Cost of SIMPLE Pectus Surgery

The cost for the SIMPLE Pectus surgery for pectus excavatum can vary from $24,000 to $27,000 (estimates).  This is considerably less than the cost of Nuss and Ravitch procedures since no hospital stay is needed.  The costs vary for individuals, depending on implant size, length of surgery, your choice of placement under or over the pectoral muscles, and other patient-related individualized factors.

Some patients choose fat grafting, in order to enhance the results in the upper part of the chest where implants cannot be placed.  This lengthens the surgery and involves additional costs.  Pectus excavatum repair cost details are as follows:

Insurance Coverage

SIMPLE Pectus technique is intended to improve appearance, not one’s health.  Health plans do not cover (and we do not bill them for) cosmetic appearance treatments.  If you plan to use HSA or FSA accounts to pay for your surgery, we can provide a letter of support.  This letter will indicate that the treatment is done to help repair a congenital condition.
