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 Colorado

Colorado's healthcare costs run approximately 7% above the national average, driven by the state's unique geographic challenges and concentrated provider networks in metropolitan areas. The state's mix of affluent ski resort communities, sprawling rural counties, and competitive urban markets creates significant cost variations for specialized procedures like hysterectomy.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Denver's Front Range corridor from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs concentrates most of the state's gynecologic specialists, while western slope communities like Grand Junction and Durango face limited specialist access requiring patient travel or higher local rates. Mountain resort areas including Vail and Aspen command premium pricing due to high operating costs and affluent patient populations. Rural eastern Colorado counties often lack local specialists entirely, forcing patients to travel 2-3 hours for surgical consultations.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient departments at major Colorado health systems like UCHealth, Presbyterian/St. Joseph, and SCL Health typically carry 40-50% higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. Denver's competitive market supports numerous independent surgical facilities that often provide more transparent pricing and lower overall costs for laparoscopic procedures. Academic medical centers like University of Colorado Hospital command premium rates but offer complex case expertise and resident training programs.

Insurance Market Competition in Colorado

Colorado's competitive insurance landscape includes strong participation from UHC, Anthem, and Kaiser, creating varied negotiated rate structures across different plan types and geographic regions. The state's robust marketplace competition helps contain premium growth but results in complex network configurations that vary significantly between insurers. Rural areas often face limited insurer participation, reducing negotiating power and potentially increasing patient costs.

Physician Supply and Demand in Colorado

With 1,315 active providers performing laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures statewide, Colorado maintains adequate specialist supply in metropolitan areas while facing shortages in rural regions. The state's population growth exceeds physician supply growth in certain specialties, potentially driving up costs and extending wait times for elective procedures. Colorado's physician-friendly practice environment and quality of life attract specialists but high real estate and operating costs offset some competitive advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Colorado

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

Self-pay patients in Colorado typically face costs between $85 and $2,204 for laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures, with a median cost of $1,202 based on negotiated rates from major insurers. Cash-pay discounts of 15-30% are commonly available for upfront payment, potentially reducing these costs significantly. Many Colorado providers also offer payment plans or sliding scale fees for uninsured patients based on income verification.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

Colorado's expanded Medicaid program provides comprehensive coverage for medically necessary hysterectomy procedures with minimal patient cost-sharing for eligible recipients. Prior authorization is typically required for elective procedures, but emergency or medically urgent cases receive expedited approval. Coverage includes both the surgical procedure and related pre-operative consultations with participating gynecologic specialists throughout the state.

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

Compare costs between hospital-based outpatient departments and independent ambulatory surgery centers, as the latter often charge 40-50% less for identical procedures. Ask about cash-pay discounts, payment plans, and sliding scale fees directly with provider billing offices. Community health centers in Colorado also provide gynecologic services on income-based fee schedules for qualifying patients.

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

Initial gynecologic consultations for hysterectomy evaluation typically cost $200-400 in Colorado, while follow-up visits range from $150-250 depending on complexity and time required. Pre-operative visits and post-surgical follow-ups are often included in global surgical fees rather than billed separately. Insurance copays for specialist visits typically remain constant regardless of whether it's an initial or follow-up appointment.

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

Both HSA and FSA funds can cover hysterectomy procedures, consultations, and related medical expenses as qualified medical expenses under IRS guidelines. Pre-operative testing, anesthesia fees, facility charges, and post-operative care all qualify for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Keep detailed receipts and documentation for all related expenses, as the IRS may require justification for large medical expenditures.

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

Telehealth consultations for initial evaluations or follow-up care typically cost 20-30% less than in-person visits, though physical examination limitations mean surgical planning usually requires in-person assessment. Colorado's telemedicine parity laws require insurers to cover virtual visits at the same rate as in-person consultations when clinically appropriate. Some Colorado practices offer hybrid care models combining telehealth consultations with strategic in-person visits to optimize both cost and clinical outcomes.
