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 District of Columbia

District of Columbia's healthcare costs run approximately 20% above national averages, driven by the area's high cost of living and concentration of academic medical centers. The District's unique federal jurisdiction status and affluent patient population contribute to premium pricing across all medical specialties.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

As a fully urban jurisdiction, District of Columbia offers concentrated access to specialty care with no rural disparities affecting cost or availability. However, patients in eastern neighborhoods may face longer travel times to reach the major medical centers clustered in northwest DC.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient clinics dominate District of Columbia's specialty care landscape, with major health systems like MedStar and George Washington University Hospital operating extensive networks. These academic medical centers typically charge higher facility fees compared to independent gynecology practices.

Insurance Market Competition in District of Columbia

The District's insurance market is relatively concentrated with CareFirst BCBS, UHC, and Aetna holding dominant market positions, which can limit competitive pressure on negotiated rates. Federal employee health plans also play a significant role given the large government workforce in the area.

Physician Supply and Demand in District of Columbia

With 348 active Hysterectomy providers serving the District's 700,000 residents, physician supply appears adequate to meet demand without significant shortages. This robust provider network helps maintain competitive pricing and reasonable appointment availability for most patients.

Does District of Columbia Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

The District expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, offering robust gynecologic benefits through managed care plans. Patients should verify their specific provider accepts DC Medicaid before scheduling.

Community health centers like Unity Health Care offer sliding fee scales, while many providers offer cash discounts for uninsured patients. Consider practices outside downtown academic medical centers for potentially lower facility fees.

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

Initial Hysterectomy consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required. New patient visits involve detailed history-taking, physical examination, and treatment planning, while established patient visits focus on specific issues or procedure follow-up. The median consultation cost of $1,525 generally applies to comprehensive initial evaluations.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Hysterectomy visit in District of Columbia?

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for Hysterectomy consultations and procedures as they qualify as medical expenses under IRS guidelines. This includes the consultation visit, diagnostic tests, and the laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure itself. Keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes.

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

Telemedicine consultations for gynecologic issues typically cost less than in-person visits, though physical examination is often necessary for hysterectomy evaluation. District of Columbia providers increasingly offer hybrid care models combining virtual consultations for follow-up visits with in-person surgical consultations. Initial surgical consultations usually require physical examination and cannot be completed entirely through telehealth.
