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 Wisconsin

Wisconsin's healthcare costs run approximately 1% above the national average, reflecting the state's mix of urban medical centers and rural provider challenges. The state's geography creates distinct cost corridors, with Milwaukee and Madison commanding premium rates while northern and western regions offer more competitive pricing.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Milwaukee and Madison metropolitan areas concentrate most of Wisconsin's specialized gynecologic surgeons, while rural counties often require patients to travel significant distances for hysterectomy procedures. This geographic maldistribution drives up costs in urban areas due to high demand while leaving rural residents with limited local options.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Major health systems like Froedtert, UW Health, and Ascension Wisconsin operate hospital-based outpatient surgical centers with higher overhead costs reflected in facility fees. Independent ambulatory surgery centers throughout Wisconsin often offer the same procedures at 30-40% lower total costs due to reduced administrative overhead and operational efficiency.

Insurance Market Competition in Wisconsin

The presence of BCBS Wisconsin, UnitedHealthcare, and regional player WEA Trust creates moderate competition that helps control negotiated rate increases. Wisconsin's relatively stable insurance market means fewer dramatic network changes compared to states with more volatile insurer participation, providing patients greater continuity of care options.

Physician Supply and Demand in Wisconsin

With 5,130 active Hysterectomy providers serving Wisconsin's 5.9 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist density in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This supply-demand imbalance contributes to longer wait times and higher costs in underserved areas, particularly for complex laparoscopic procedures requiring advanced surgical skills.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hysterectomy Costs in Wisconsin

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

Without insurance, hysterectomy consultations in Wisconsin typically range from $73 to $5,848, with a median cost of $1,742 for laparoscopic procedures. The actual surgical procedure costs significantly more than initial consultations, so many uninsured patients explore payment plans or cash-pay discounts offered by Wisconsin healthcare systems.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover Hysterectomy visits?

Yes, Wisconsin Medicaid covers medically necessary hysterectomy procedures and consultations since the state expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Coverage includes both initial specialist consultations and surgical procedures when deemed medically appropriate, though patients may need referrals from their primary care providers depending on their specific Medicaid managed care plan.

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

Compare costs across different facility types in Wisconsin, as ambulatory surgery centers often charge 30-40% less than hospital-based programs. Ask about self-pay discounts if uninsured, consider community health centers for initial consultations, and explore whether your procedure can be performed at lower-cost outpatient facilities rather than hospital operating rooms.

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

Initial hysterectomy consultations typically cost significantly more than follow-up visits due to comprehensive evaluation time and complexity. New patient visits involve detailed medical history, physical examination, and treatment planning, while established patient follow-ups focus on surgical recovery, symptom monitoring, or routine post-operative care at reduced rates.

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

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for hysterectomy consultations and procedures in Wisconsin as they qualify as medical expenses under IRS guidelines. This includes surgeon fees, facility costs, anesthesia, and related medical expenses, making these tax-advantaged accounts valuable for managing out-of-pocket costs associated with gynecologic surgery.

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

Telemedicine consultations for pre-operative planning or post-operative follow-up typically cost 20-30% less than in-person visits in Wisconsin. While initial surgical consultations requiring physical examination must be conducted in-person, many Wisconsin providers offer virtual follow-up appointments for routine post-operative care, reducing both costs and travel time for patients.
