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 58571Laparoscopic 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.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 58571 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 58571 (Laparoscopic total hysterectomy), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 58571 covers: the provider's professional fee for hysterectomy (laparoscopic). It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Tennessee

Tennessee's healthcare costs run approximately 4% below the national average, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive provider market across urban centers like Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The state's mix of academic medical centers, regional health systems, and independent practices creates pricing variation while maintaining quality care options.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Tennessee's major metropolitan areas concentrate most gynecologic surgeons, with Nashville and Memphis offering the highest provider density and most competitive pricing. Rural counties often rely on regional medical centers or require patients to travel to urban areas for specialized laparoscopic procedures, which can increase overall treatment costs when factoring in travel and lodging expenses.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient surgery departments at facilities like Vanderbilt University Medical Center and UT Medical Center typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. Many Tennessee surgeons have privileges at multiple facilities, allowing patients to choose between academic medical centers for complex cases or lower-cost surgery centers for routine procedures.

Insurance Market Competition in Tennessee

The presence of BlueCross BlueShield Tennessee, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna creates moderate insurer competition that helps control negotiated rates for surgical procedures. However, some rural areas have limited insurer options, which can result in higher out-of-pocket costs for patients with less competitive insurance products.

Physician Supply and Demand in Tennessee

With 2,384 active hysterectomy providers across the state, Tennessee maintains adequate physician supply relative to its population, preventing the supply shortages that drive up costs in other regions. This healthy provider-to-patient ratio supports competitive pricing and reasonable wait times for both consultations and surgical scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Tennessee

What is the average cost of a Hysterectomy visit in Tennessee without insurance?

Uninsured patients in Tennessee typically pay between $85 and $1,679 for hysterectomy-related visits, with a median cost of $1,116 based on negotiated insurance rates. Many providers offer self-pay discounts of 20-40% off standard rates, and payment plans are often available. Tennessee's below-national-average healthcare costs make it more affordable than many other states for this procedure.

Does Tennessee Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

TennCare (Tennessee's Medicaid program) covers medically necessary hysterectomy procedures and consultations, but eligibility is limited since Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid. Coverage is primarily available to very low-income families with children and individuals with disabilities. Patients should verify their eligibility and confirm their surgeon accepts TennCare before scheduling.

How do I find an affordable Hysterectomy near me in Tennessee?

Compare costs between hospital-based surgery centers and independent ambulatory facilities, as prices can vary significantly. Ask about self-pay discounts and payment plans if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers throughout Tennessee may offer sliding-scale fees for qualifying patients.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Initial hysterectomy consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required, including detailed history, examination, and treatment planning. Follow-up visits for post-operative care or monitoring are generally shorter and less expensive. The specific cost difference depends on your insurance plan's specialist copay structure and whether you've met your annual deductible.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Hysterectomy visit in Tennessee?

Yes, hysterectomy consultations and procedures qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for deductibles, copays, and coinsurance related to your gynecologic care. Keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Hysterectomy in Tennessee?

Telemedicine consultations for initial evaluations or follow-up care typically cost 20-30% less than in-person visits and are increasingly accepted by Tennessee insurers. However, physical examination is usually necessary before surgical recommendations, so telehealth works best for pre-operative consultations, post-operative follow-up, or second opinions. Most major Tennessee health systems now offer telehealth options for appropriate gynecologic consultations.
