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 South Dakota
South Dakota's healthcare costs run approximately 3% above the national average, reflecting the state's rural geography and limited provider competition in specialized services. The dominance of large health systems like Sanford and Avera creates pricing stability but may limit cost competition compared to markets with more independent providers.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The vast majority of gynecologic surgeons practicing in South Dakota are concentrated in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, with limited options in smaller communities like Aberdeen, Watertown, or Pierre. Rural patients often travel 100+ miles for specialized procedures, though some regional hospitals offer visiting specialist clinics. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to maintain higher pricing due to limited local competition.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient surgery centers, which dominate South Dakota's surgical landscape, typically carry higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. Sanford Health and Avera Health control most major surgical facilities statewide, setting pricing standards that smaller providers often follow. The state's harsh winters and rural locations increase operational costs for medical facilities, contributing to higher overall procedure pricing.
Insurance Market Competition in South Dakota
With Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Sanford Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare controlling most of the market, South Dakota has limited insurer competition compared to larger states. This concentration allows insurers to negotiate similar rates with providers, reducing the price variation patients might see in more competitive markets. The lack of a state-based insurance exchange also limits consumer options for coverage.
Physician Supply and Demand in South Dakota
South Dakota's 56 active providers performing laparoscopic hysterectomies represents adequate coverage for the state's population of 900,000, though geographic distribution favors urban areas. The University of South Dakota's medical school helps maintain physician supply, but many graduates leave for practice opportunities in larger metropolitan areas. Specialist shortages in rural areas allow urban providers to maintain higher pricing without losing patients to competition.
