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 58571Laparoscopic 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.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 58571 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 58571 (Laparoscopic total hysterectomy), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 58571 covers: the provider's professional fee for hysterectomy (laparoscopic). It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Arkansas

Arkansas surgical costs run approximately 12% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and reduced overhead expenses compared to coastal markets. The state's predominantly rural geography creates unique access challenges, with surgical specialists concentrated in Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Jonesboro.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Central Arkansas around Little Rock hosts the highest concentration of gynecologic surgeons, while the Mississippi Delta region faces significant specialist shortages requiring patient travel. Northwest Arkansas benefits from the economic growth around Bentonville and Fayetteville, supporting several competitive surgical practices. Rural counties often rely on visiting specialists or require referrals to regional medical centers, potentially adding travel costs but sometimes offering more personalized care.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based surgical suites in Arkansas typically charge 30-50% more than independent ambulatory surgery centers due to higher overhead and staffing costs. Major health systems like Baptist Health and CHI St. Vincent dominate urban markets but often provide more comprehensive services and advanced surgical technology. Independent surgical centers, particularly common in Northwest Arkansas, frequently offer more competitive pricing and shorter scheduling wait times.

Insurance Market Competition in Arkansas

BCBS Arkansas's market dominance limits insurer competition, though QualChoice and a few smaller carriers provide alternative options in select regions. This concentrated market can reduce negotiated rate variations between providers, creating more predictable pricing for patients. Limited competition means fewer insurance plan choices but often results in broader provider networks within available plans.

Physician Supply and Demand in Arkansas

With 113 active Hysterectomy providers serving Arkansas's population of 3 million, the state maintains adequate surgical capacity in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This geographic disparity means patients in metropolitan areas often have more scheduling flexibility and competitive pricing, while rural patients may face longer wait times but sometimes receive more personalized attention. The concentration of providers in major cities helps keep urban surgical costs competitive despite the limited insurance market competition.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Arkansas

What is the average cost of a Hysterectomy visit in Arkansas without insurance?

Without insurance, Hysterectomy procedures in Arkansas range from $85 to $1,600, with a median cost of $1,180 based on negotiated insurance rates. Self-pay patients often receive discounts of 20-40% when paying upfront, potentially reducing these costs significantly. Many Arkansas surgical centers offer payment plans to make procedures more affordable for uninsured patients.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

Arkansas Medicaid covers medically necessary hysterectomy procedures with prior authorization, requiring documentation that conservative treatments have been attempted first. Since Arkansas has not expanded Medicaid, many low-income adults don't qualify for coverage, though emergency procedures remain covered regardless of income. Traditional Medicaid recipients should work with their providers to ensure proper authorization before scheduling elective procedures.

How do I find an affordable Hysterectomy near me in Arkansas?

Compare costs between hospital-affiliated and independent surgical centers, as independents often offer 20-30% lower fees in Arkansas. Ask about self-pay discounts and payment plans, which are commonly available throughout the state. Community health centers in Little Rock and other major cities may provide referrals to lower-cost providers or sliding-scale fee options for qualifying patients.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Initial consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required for surgical planning. Follow-up visits after hysterectomy are often included in the global surgical fee for the first 90 days, reducing additional out-of-pocket costs. Pre-operative consultations may involve additional testing or imaging that can add to the overall cost beyond the surgeon's fee.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Hysterectomy visit in Arkansas?

Yes, hysterectomy procedures are qualified medical expenses eligible for HSA and FSA funds when medically necessary. These tax-advantaged accounts can cover surgeon fees, facility costs, anesthesia, and related medical expenses. Keep all receipts and documentation, as you may need to provide proof that the procedure was medically necessary rather than elective for tax purposes.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Hysterectomy in Arkansas?

While the surgical procedure itself requires in-person care, many Arkansas providers offer telehealth consultations for initial evaluations and post-operative follow-ups. These virtual visits typically cost 10-20% less than office visits and can reduce travel expenses for rural patients. However, physical examination is usually required before scheduling surgery, so expect at least one in-person appointment regardless of telehealth availability.
