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 New Mexico
Healthcare costs in New Mexico average approximately 3% below national levels, though the state's vast rural geography and limited specialist availability create significant cost disparities between urban and remote areas. The concentration of advanced surgical capabilities in Albuquerque and Santa Fe means many residents face travel costs in addition to procedure expenses.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Albuquerque and Santa Fe contain the majority of New Mexico's gynecologic surgeons, while rural counties often have limited or no local specialists, forcing residents to travel hundreds of miles for hysterectomy procedures. This geographic disparity creates higher total costs for rural patients who must factor in lodging and travel expenses. Some rural hospitals partner with urban specialists who provide rotating coverage, but scheduling can be limited and wait times longer.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based surgical centers in New Mexico typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers, with academic medical centers like UNM Hospital commanding premium rates for complex cases. Presbyterian Healthcare Services and Christus St. Joseph operate multiple facilities across the state with varying cost structures depending on location and services offered. Rural critical access hospitals often have higher per-procedure costs due to lower surgical volumes and higher overhead expenses.
Insurance Market Competition in New Mexico
Limited insurer competition in New Mexico, with Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, UnitedHealthcare, and Molina Healthcare controlling most of the market, can result in less aggressive rate negotiations with providers. Rural areas often have even fewer insurance options, reducing patients' ability to shop for better coverage or negotiate lower costs. The state's Medicaid expansion has increased coverage but also created capacity challenges at facilities serving high numbers of Medicaid patients.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Mexico
With over 1,200 hysterectomy providers statewide, New Mexico maintains reasonable specialist availability in urban areas, though rural regions face ongoing shortages that can drive up costs and extend wait times. The University of New Mexico's medical school helps train specialists who remain in-state, but recruitment challenges persist in rural communities. Higher demand relative to supply in certain regions allows providers to maintain premium pricing, while urban competition helps moderate costs.
