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.

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 Georgia
Georgia's healthcare costs run approximately 1% below national averages, reflecting the state's mix of competitive urban markets and lower-cost rural areas. The state's growing ambulatory surgery center market provides patients with alternatives to more expensive hospital-based surgical facilities.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Metro Atlanta concentrates the majority of Georgia's mastectomy specialists, while rural areas in South Georgia and the mountains may have limited local options, requiring patients to travel to regional medical centers. This geographic distribution creates cost disparities, with urban practices often charging premium rates while rural patients face additional travel and lodging expenses. Secondary cities like Augusta, Savannah, and Columbus offer middle-ground options for patients seeking specialized surgical care.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned surgical practices in Georgia typically charge higher facility fees than independent surgical centers, reflecting the overhead costs of major health systems like Piedmont Healthcare and Northside Hospital. Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers often provide more competitive pricing for outpatient mastectomy procedures while maintaining high safety standards. Academic medical centers like Emory may have higher baseline costs but offer access to cutting-edge techniques and clinical trials.
Insurance Market Competition in Georgia
The presence of multiple major insurers including Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna creates competitive pressure that helps moderate negotiated rates with Georgia providers. Regional insurance plans and self-insured employer plans add additional market dynamics that can affect pricing negotiations. The competitive landscape generally benefits patients through broader network options and cost containment efforts.
Physician Supply and Demand in Georgia
With over 3,000 active Mastectomy providers, Georgia maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas, though rural regions may experience longer wait times for consultations. This robust provider supply in metro areas helps contain costs through competition while ensuring patients have multiple in-network options. The concentration of providers in Atlanta and other major cities allows patients to compare both credentials and costs when selecting their surgical team.
