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 Montana
Healthcare costs in Montana run approximately 4% above national averages, reflecting the challenges of delivering specialized surgical services across the state's vast rural landscape. The concentration of advanced surgical capabilities in a few major population centers creates significant cost and access variations throughout Big Sky Country.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Most hysterectomy specialists practice in Montana's larger cities like Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, and Bozeman, leaving rural residents to travel significant distances for surgical care. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to maintain higher volumes and potentially negotiate better equipment and supply contracts. Rural patients often face additional costs for travel, lodging, and time off work when accessing specialized surgical care.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient surgery centers in Montana typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers due to increased overhead and regulatory requirements. Major health systems like Billings Clinic, Providence, and Benefis dominate the surgical landscape, often setting regional pricing standards. Independent surgical centers, where available, may offer more competitive pricing but have limited geographic distribution across the state.
Insurance Market Competition in Montana
The Montana insurance market features moderate competition with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana, PacificSource, and UnitedHealthcare as primary players, though rural areas may have fewer plan options. Limited insurer competition in some regions can result in higher negotiated rates for surgical procedures. The state's small population and geographic challenges make it difficult for new insurers to enter the market and drive down costs through competition.
Physician Supply and Demand in Montana
With 42 active providers performing hysterectomy procedures across Montana's large geographic area, patients in some regions face limited options and potential wait times for non-urgent surgeries. This relatively modest provider supply for the state's geography can support higher pricing, particularly for surgeons with specialized training in minimally invasive techniques. Recruitment and retention of surgical specialists remains challenging in Montana due to lifestyle factors and practice economics in rural settings.
