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 Kentucky
Kentucky's healthcare costs run approximately 5% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and moderate insurance market competition. The Commonwealth's mix of urban medical centers in Louisville and Lexington alongside rural communities creates distinct pricing tiers based on geography and provider availability.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Louisville and Lexington concentrate most of Kentucky's gynecologic surgeons, creating competitive pricing in these metropolitan areas while rural counties often have limited specialist access. Patients in eastern Kentucky's Appalachian region frequently travel 2-3 hours to reach experienced laparoscopic surgeons, sometimes offsetting lower procedure costs with travel expenses.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient surgery departments at facilities like Norton Healthcare and Baptist Health typically charge 30-50% more than independent ambulatory surgery centers for laparoscopic hysterectomies. Academic medical centers such as University of Louisville Hospital often have higher base rates but may offer clinical trials or advanced techniques not available elsewhere in the state.
Insurance Market Competition in Kentucky
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield holds the largest market share in Kentucky, followed by UnitedHealthcare and Humana, creating moderate competition that prevents extreme rate variations. This three-way competition helps negotiate reasonable rates with providers, though rural areas with fewer provider options sometimes see less aggressive rate negotiations.
Physician Supply and Demand in Kentucky
With 191 active hysterectomy providers serving a population of 4.5 million, Kentucky maintains adequate specialist coverage in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply-demand imbalance means Louisville and Lexington patients often have shorter wait times and more competitive pricing, while rural patients may pay premium rates for limited local options.
