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 Nebraska

Nebraska's healthcare costs run approximately 1% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive insurance market with established players like BCBS Nebraska, UHC, and Aetna. The state's dispersed population creates unique pricing dynamics between metropolitan and rural healthcare delivery.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Most specialized gynecologic surgeons concentrate in Omaha and Lincoln, creating higher competition and potentially lower prices in these metropolitan areas. Rural Nebraska residents often travel significant distances for hysterectomy procedures, though some regional medical centers in cities like Grand Island and North Platte offer basic gynecologic surgery services. The urban-rural divide affects both access and pricing, with rural facilities sometimes charging less due to lower overhead costs.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based surgical centers in Nebraska typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers, particularly within major health systems like Nebraska Medicine and CHI Health. Independent surgical centers often offer more competitive pricing for elective procedures like hysterectomies since they have lower administrative overhead. The choice between hospital and ambulatory settings can impact total procedure costs by several thousand dollars.

Insurance Market Competition in Nebraska

Nebraska's insurance market features moderate competition among BCBS Nebraska, UHC, and Aetna, helping to keep negotiated rates reasonable compared to less competitive states. The presence of multiple major insurers creates pricing pressure on providers, benefiting consumers through lower out-of-pocket costs. Rural areas may have fewer insurance options, potentially affecting negotiated rates with local providers.

Physician Supply and Demand in Nebraska

With over 2,180 active Hysterectomy providers serving the state's population, Nebraska maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution creates price variations, with high-demand rural specialists sometimes commanding premium rates while urban competition keeps prices more moderate. Wait times for elective hysterectomies are generally shorter in metropolitan areas due to higher provider density.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Nebraska

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

Without insurance, laparoscopic hysterectomy costs in Nebraska range from $1,076 to $2,164, with a median cost of $1,972 based on negotiated insurance rates. Self-pay patients may receive discounts of 20-40% off these standard rates, especially at independent surgical centers. Many providers offer payment plans to help manage these significant out-of-pocket expenses.

Does Nebraska Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

Yes, Nebraska Medicaid covers medically necessary hysterectomies since the state expanded Medicaid coverage. Prior authorization is typically required for elective procedures, and the surgery must meet specific medical necessity criteria. Coverage includes both the surgeon fees and facility costs when performed at approved providers.

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

Compare prices between hospital-based surgical centers and independent ambulatory facilities, as costs can vary significantly. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers that may offer sliding-scale fees. Shopping around among Nebraska's 2,180+ providers can help you find more affordable options while maintaining quality care.

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

Initial consultations for complex gynecologic conditions typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required. The actual surgical procedure costs ($1,076-$2,164 range) are separate from consultation fees and represent the major expense component. Most insurance plans cover follow-up visits at standard specialist copay rates.

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

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for medically necessary hysterectomy procedures and related consultations in Nebraska. These tax-advantaged accounts help reduce your effective cost by using pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses. Keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes when using these accounts.

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

Telemedicine consultations typically cost less than in-person visits and are increasingly used for pre-operative consultations and post-operative follow-ups. However, the actual surgical procedure requires in-person care at a surgical facility. Nebraska's rural geography makes telemedicine particularly valuable for reducing travel costs while maintaining access to specialist care.
