Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 58571 — Laparoscopic total hysterectomy). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.

Why Hysterectomy Visit Costs Vary Across Alabama
Alabama's healthcare costs run approximately 8% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and wage structures. The concentration of major medical centers in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile creates cost variations across different regions of the state.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Alabama's rural counties often lack gynecologic specialists, forcing patients to travel to Birmingham, Huntsville, or Mobile for complex procedures. This geographic disparity means rural patients may face higher total costs due to travel expenses, despite potentially lower procedure fees. Urban areas benefit from competition between major health systems like UAB Medicine, Baptist Health, and Ascension Saint Vincent's.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient clinics in Alabama typically charge 40-60% more than independent surgical centers due to higher facility fees and administrative overhead. Major health systems like UAB Medicine and Baptist Health operate extensive outpatient networks with standardized pricing, while independent practices often offer more flexible fee structures. Ambulatory surgical centers generally provide the most cost-effective option for routine laparoscopic procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Alabama
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama maintains dominant market share, reducing competitive pressure on negotiated rates compared to states with more insurer options. Limited competition means fewer choices for consumers but can create more predictable pricing structures. The lack of robust competition sometimes results in higher premiums but may offer more stable provider networks year-over-year.
Physician Supply and Demand in Alabama
With 2,372 active Hysterectomy providers serving Alabama's 5.1 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist coverage in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution creates longer wait times and higher costs in underserved areas, particularly in the Black Belt and northeastern counties. Urban markets like Birmingham and Huntsville benefit from medical school affiliations that attract and retain specialists.
