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 Rhode Island
Rhode Island's healthcare costs run approximately 13% above national averages, reflecting the state's concentrated market and limited geographic spread between urban Providence and rural western counties. The Ocean State's small size creates unique dynamics where most residents can access major medical centers within 30 minutes, reducing the typical urban-rural cost disparities seen in larger states.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Providence and its surrounding metropolitan area concentrate most gynecological surgeons, while rural areas in western Rhode Island may have limited specialist availability. This geographic concentration means rural patients often travel to Providence or Warwick for specialized surgical consultations, though travel distances remain manageable given the state's compact size.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned practices affiliated with Lifespan or Care New England typically carry higher overhead costs than independent surgical groups. Academic medical centers like Women & Infants Hospital may charge premium rates for specialized procedures, while community hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers often provide more competitive pricing for routine laparoscopic procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Rhode Island
The state's insurance landscape features moderate competition between BCBS RI, UnitedHealthcare, and Tufts, though the small market size limits dramatic rate variations. BCBS RI's strong market position and established provider relationships often result in competitive negotiated rates, while smaller insurers may face higher costs due to limited negotiating power.
Physician Supply and Demand in Rhode Island
With 60 active providers offering laparoscopic hysterectomy services across Rhode Island's small geographic area, the state maintains adequate specialist availability relative to its population of just over one million. This reasonable supply-demand balance helps moderate pricing pressures, though subspecialists in areas like gynecologic oncology remain concentrated in Providence-area academic centers.
