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 19301Mastectomy, 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 Idaho

Idaho's healthcare costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and reduced provider density in rural regions. The concentration of surgical specialists in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, and Idaho Falls creates price competition in these metro areas while limiting options for rural patients.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Boise and northern Idaho near Spokane offer the highest concentration of mastectomy surgeons, while eastern and central Idaho counties often require travel of 100+ miles for specialized care. Rural patients frequently face higher total costs due to travel expenses and limited local surgical facilities. Telemedicine consultations help bridge geographic gaps but surgical procedures still require in-person care at urban centers.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Saint Alphonsus Health System and Kootenai Health operate the largest hospital-based surgical programs with higher facility fees but comprehensive support services. Independent surgical centers like those affiliated with Treasure Valley Hospital typically offer lower base rates. Ambulatory surgery centers provide cost-effective options for outpatient mastectomy procedures without hospital overhead.

Insurance Market Competition in Idaho

Limited insurer competition between Regence BlueCross, PacificSource, and smaller regional carriers reduces negotiating leverage for lower provider rates. The state's concentrated insurance market means fewer plan options and less aggressive rate competition compared to larger states. Rural areas often have even fewer insurer choices, further limiting cost competition among providers.

Physician Supply and Demand in Idaho

With 93 active mastectomy providers serving Idaho's growing population, surgical capacity remains adequate in urban areas but stretched in rural regions. The state's physician shortage in specialized surgery creates longer wait times and potentially higher costs in underserved areas. Boise's medical training programs help retain surgeons locally, but rural recruitment remains challenging for complex surgical specialties.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mastectomy Costs in Idaho

What is the average cost of a Mastectomy visit in Idaho without insurance?

Uninsured patients in Idaho can expect mastectomy consultation costs ranging from $85 to $1,484 based on facility type and geographic location. The median out-of-pocket cost sits at $839 for initial consultations across the state's 93 providers. Many surgical practices offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% for upfront payment, and extended payment plans are commonly available for qualifying patients.

Does Idaho Medicaid cover Mastectomy visits?

Yes, Idaho expanded Medicaid in 2020, providing mastectomy coverage for adults earning up to 138% of federal poverty level. Coverage includes both medically necessary and prophylactic procedures when performed by participating providers. Prior authorization is typically required for non-emergency surgeries, and patients should verify their chosen surgeon accepts Idaho Medicaid before scheduling.

How do I find an affordable Mastectomy near me in Idaho?

Compare costs across hospital-based surgical centers versus independent practices, as rates can vary by thousands of dollars for the same procedure. Ask about self-pay discounts, sliding fee scales, and payment plans if you're uninsured or underinsured. Community health centers in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, and Pocatello may offer reduced-cost surgical referrals for qualifying patients.

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

Initial mastectomy consultations in Idaho range from $85 to $1,484 with a median cost of $839, representing comprehensive evaluation and surgical planning. Follow-up visits typically cost significantly less, though specific follow-up pricing data varies by provider and complexity of post-operative care required. Most insurance plans cover follow-up visits at standard specialist copay rates rather than surgical consultation fees.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Mastectomy visit in Idaho?

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used for mastectomy consultations and procedures as they qualify as medical expenses under IRS guidelines. This includes related costs like surgeon consultations, facility fees, and medically necessary reconstruction procedures. Keep detailed receipts for tax purposes, and remember that HSA funds roll over annually while FSA funds typically have use-it-or-lose-it provisions.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Mastectomy in Idaho?

Telemedicine consultations for mastectomy typically cost 30-50% less than in-person visits and help rural Idaho patients avoid travel expenses to urban surgical centers. However, physical examination remains essential for surgical planning, so telemedicine works best for initial consultations, second opinions, and post-operative follow-ups. Most major Idaho health systems now offer hybrid care models combining virtual and in-person appointments for optimal convenience and cost savings.
