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 19301 — Mastectomy, partial / simple complete). 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 19301 covers
Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 19301 (Mastectomy, partial / simple complete), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.
What CPT 19301 covers: the provider's professional fee for mastectomy. 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 Mastectomy Visit Costs Vary Across Arizona
Arizona's healthcare costs run approximately 5% above national averages, influenced by the state's rapid population growth and concentration of medical facilities in major metropolitan areas. The competitive ambulatory surgery center market helps moderate pricing for many procedures including mastectomy.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Phoenix and Tucson metro areas concentrate most of Arizona's mastectomy specialists, offering competitive pricing and shorter wait times due to provider density. Rural counties like Cochise and Navajo may require patients to travel to urban centers for specialized breast surgery, potentially increasing overall costs but sometimes offering lower facility fees. The state's vast geography creates significant access disparities between urban and frontier communities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient surgical centers in Arizona typically charge higher facility fees due to overhead costs and emergency preparedness requirements. Independent ambulatory surgery centers often provide the same quality care at 20-40% lower costs for eligible mastectomy procedures. Major health systems like Banner Health and Dignity Health dominate the hospital market, while independent surgical centers offer competitive alternatives.
Insurance Market Competition in Arizona
Arizona's insurance marketplace features strong competition between UHC, BCBS Arizona, and Aetna, with regional insurers also participating in certain markets. This competitive environment generally results in better negotiated rates for surgical procedures compared to more concentrated insurance markets. The state's relatively open insurance regulations allow for diverse plan options and pricing structures.
Physician Supply and Demand in Arizona
With 4,299 active mastectomy providers serving Arizona's growing population, the state maintains adequate surgical capacity in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This supply concentration in Phoenix and Tucson creates competitive pricing pressure in metro areas but may increase costs for patients requiring travel from outlying communities. Wait times for non-urgent procedures remain reasonable in most areas.
