How much does Stroke Thrombectomy cost?
Medicare national averages for CPT 61645 (Removing a blood clot and injecting a dissolving agent into a head artery using fluoroscopy). The total bill has two parts: the professional fee paid to the physician, and the facility (technical) fee paid to the hospital or surgery center for the room, staff, equipment and supplies.
| Where it's done | Physician (professional) | Facility (technical) |
|---|---|---|
| Hospital outpatient department | $760 | — |
| Ambulatory surgery center (ASC) | $760 | Not covered in an ASC |
| Office-based lab (OBL) | $760 (one "global" payment that covers the physician and the office's supplies, equipment and staff) | |
Medicare physician fee schedule and hospital outpatient/ASC payment rates, national averages before geographic adjustment. Private insurance usually pays more; your share depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance. Inpatient stays are paid differently (by DRG).
