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 Massachusetts

Massachusetts healthcare costs run approximately 20% above the national average, driven by the state's concentration of prestigious academic medical centers and highly specialized surgical programs. The Commonwealth's relatively small geographic area but dense population creates unique cost dynamics, with significant variation between Boston's medical district and more rural areas in western Massachusetts.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

The Boston metropolitan area contains the highest concentration of gynecologic surgeons and advanced laparoscopic facilities in Massachusetts, while western counties like Berkshire and Franklin may have limited specialist availability. This geographic disparity often forces rural patients to travel to Boston or Springfield for complex procedures, potentially adding travel costs but sometimes finding lower facility fees. Urban areas typically offer more scheduling flexibility but higher overall procedure costs.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Massachusetts is home to major academic medical centers including Brigham and Women's Hospital, Mass General, and Boston Medical Center, which typically charge premium rates for surgical procedures due to their teaching hospital status and research overhead. Independent surgical centers and community hospitals often offer the same laparoscopic procedures at significantly lower facility fees. Hospital-owned practices have become dominant across Massachusetts, sometimes limiting price competition.

Insurance Market Competition in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts insurance market is moderately competitive with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts holding the largest market share, followed by Tufts Health Plan and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. This concentration among three major insurers creates strong negotiating power with providers, potentially keeping rates more controlled than in less competitive markets. The state's health insurance exchange adds additional plan options that can offer different provider networks and cost structures.

Physician Supply and Demand in Massachusetts

With over 1,012 active providers performing laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures, Massachusetts has one of the highest specialist densities in the nation relative to population. This robust supply generally helps keep wait times reasonable and provides patients with multiple options for cost comparison. The concentration of medical training programs in Boston continually adds new specialists to the market, maintaining competitive dynamics that can benefit patient choice and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Massachusetts

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

Laparoscopic hysterectomy costs in Massachusetts range from $710 to $3,890 based on negotiated insurance rates, with a median cost of $1,297. Uninsured patients often face higher list prices but may qualify for cash-pay discounts of 30-50%. Many Massachusetts surgical facilities offer payment plans and financial assistance programs to help manage these costs.

Does Massachusetts Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

Yes, MassHealth (Massachusetts Medicaid) covers medically necessary hysterectomy procedures, including laparoscopic approaches. As an expanded Medicaid state, Massachusetts provides comprehensive surgical coverage with prior authorization required for most elective procedures. Patients typically have minimal out-of-pocket costs, though some specialist copays may apply depending on the specific MassHealth plan.

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

Compare costs across different facility types, as independent surgical centers often charge less than hospital-based facilities for the same procedure. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community hospitals in areas like western Massachusetts that may have lower overhead costs. Community health centers throughout Massachusetts also offer gynecologic services on sliding fee scales based on income.

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

Initial consultations for hysterectomy typically involve comprehensive evaluation and are billed at higher rates than follow-up visits. While specific consultation rates vary, the procedure itself ranges from $710 to $3,890 with a median of $1,297. Follow-up visits are generally billed at lower established patient rates and may be included in surgical packages at some facilities.

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

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for medically necessary hysterectomy procedures and related consultations. These tax-advantaged accounts cover surgical fees, facility charges, anesthesia costs, and related medical expenses. Keep all receipts and documentation, as you may need to provide medical necessity documentation for reimbursement from your FSA administrator.

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

Telemedicine consultations for initial discussions about hysterectomy options typically cost less than in-person visits, often $100-200 compared to $300-500 for office visits. However, physical examination is usually required before surgical procedures, so telehealth is mainly useful for preliminary consultations and post-operative follow-up. Massachusetts has strong telehealth coverage requirements that most insurers follow.
