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 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, reflecting the state's mix of high-cost urban markets in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alongside more affordable rural communities. The concentration of academic medical centers and specialty hospitals in major metropolitan areas creates premium pricing tiers that contrast sharply with community hospital rates in smaller Pennsylvania cities.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas concentrate the majority of Pennsylvania's gynecologic specialists, creating travel burdens for patients in rural counties but also fostering competitive pricing among urban providers. Rural hospitals in Pennsylvania often refer complex hysterectomy cases to regional centers, which can increase total costs but may provide access to minimally invasive techniques not available locally. The state's mountainous terrain and scattered population centers contribute to access disparities between eastern and western regions.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient surgery centers affiliated with major Pennsylvania health systems like UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Geisinger typically charge higher facility fees than independent surgical centers. Academic medical centers command premium rates but offer specialized expertise in complex cases, while community hospitals provide more standardized pricing for routine hysterectomy procedures. The state's certificate-of-need regulations historically limited surgery center development, though recent changes have increased competition in some markets.
Insurance Market Competition in Pennsylvania
The dominance of Highmark in western Pennsylvania and Independence Blue Cross in the Philadelphia region creates distinct market dynamics that affect negotiated rates with gynecologic providers. UnitedHealthcare's growing presence adds competitive pressure in both commercial and Medicare Advantage segments, potentially benefiting patients through improved network access and pricing. The state's fragmented insurance market means provider contract terms vary significantly between regions, affecting patient costs for identical procedures.
Physician Supply and Demand in Pennsylvania
With 983 active hysterectomy providers statewide, Pennsylvania maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas while facing shortages in rural counties particularly in the north-central region. This supply-demand imbalance allows specialists in underserved areas to command higher rates while urban markets see more competitive pricing due to provider density. Wait times for non-urgent hysterectomy procedures average 3-6 weeks in major cities but can extend to 2-3 months in rural areas, influencing patient decisions about traveling to access care.
