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 North Carolina
North Carolina's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below the national average, reflecting the state's mix of competitive urban markets and lower-cost rural areas. The expanding ASC market has created downward pressure on pricing while maintaining quality standards across the state's diverse geographic regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Research Triangle and Charlotte metro areas offer the highest concentration of subspecialty-trained gynecologic surgeons, while rural counties in eastern and western North Carolina may have limited local options. This geographic disparity often requires rural patients to travel for specialized procedures, though telemedicine consultations have improved initial access to expert opinions.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
North Carolina's major health systems including Atrium Health, Novant Health, and UNC Health operate hospital-based outpatient centers with higher overhead costs than independent surgery centers. The state's growing ASC network offers competitive pricing for laparoscopic procedures, often 30-50% less expensive than hospital-based alternatives while maintaining equivalent safety standards.
Insurance Market Competition in North Carolina
Blue Cross Blue Shield NC maintains the largest market share but faces strong competition from UnitedHealthcare and Aetna, creating negotiated rate competition that benefits patients. The state's insurance commissioner actively monitors rate increases, helping maintain relatively stable premium growth compared to other southeastern states.
Physician Supply and Demand in North Carolina
With 2,276 active Hysterectomy providers statewide, North Carolina maintains adequate specialist availability in most regions, though subspecialty services concentrate in major metropolitan areas. The state's medical schools and residency programs help maintain steady physician supply, preventing the specialist shortages seen in neighboring rural states and keeping wait times reasonable for most procedures.
