The cost of thyroid surgery typically runs $15,000 to $20,000, and when the gland is needlessly removed, there are additional lifelong costs for blood tests, hypothyroidism medications and physician monitoring.
1 For patients not covered by health insurance, the typical cost of hyperthyroid treatment is $10-$150 a month -- or $120-$1,800 a year -- for drugs, or up to $4,000 or more for a radioactive iodine treatment or up to $25,000 or more for surgery. After the thyroid is destroyed by a radioactive iodine treatment or surgically removed, the patient typically needs to take thyroid hormone replacement such as levothyroxine, which typically costs $15-$45 per month.
