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 Louisiana
Louisiana's healthcare costs run approximately 1% above the national average, driven by limited insurance competition and geographic barriers to care. The state's unique geography, with vast rural expanses and concentrated urban centers, creates significant disparities in both access and pricing for specialty gynecologic services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Most hysterectomy specialists concentrate in the New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport metropolitan areas, with limited access across rural parishes. Patients in northern Louisiana often travel to Shreveport or Monroe for specialty care, while those in Acadiana may drive to Lafayette or New Orleans. This geographic maldistribution drives up costs in urban areas while creating access barriers in rural communities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned practices dominate Louisiana's specialty care landscape, with major health systems like Ochsner, LCMC Health, and Our Lady of the Lake controlling much of the market. These hospital-affiliated clinics typically charge higher facility fees compared to independent practices, contributing to the wide cost variation seen across the state. Academic medical centers in New Orleans add teaching hospital premiums to their pricing structures.
Insurance Market Competition in Louisiana
BCBS Louisiana maintains the largest market share, followed by UHC and Aetna, with limited competition in many parishes creating less pressure for competitive pricing. The state's decision not to expand Medicaid has left insurers with a higher proportion of commercially insured patients, allowing for higher negotiated rates. Rural areas often have only one or two insurer options, further limiting competitive pressure on pricing.
Physician Supply and Demand in Louisiana
With 904 active Hysterectomy providers serving the state's 4.6 million residents, Louisiana has a moderate supply of gynecologic specialists relative to population. However, the uneven geographic distribution means urban areas may have adequate supply while rural parishes face shortages, creating wait times and driving patients to travel for care. This supply-demand imbalance allows urban specialists to maintain premium pricing while rural patients face additional travel costs.
