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 Indiana

Indiana's healthcare costs run approximately 6% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive insurance market. The state's mix of urban medical centers in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville alongside rural hospitals creates distinct pricing tiers across different regions.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Indianapolis and its suburbs concentrate the majority of Indiana's mastectomy specialists, offering patients multiple options for comparison shopping. Rural counties in southern and eastern Indiana often have limited local surgical options, requiring patients to travel to regional medical centers. This geographic divide can impact both access and pricing, with urban areas typically having more competitive rates due to provider density.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Indiana University Health, Community Health Network, and Ascension St. Vincent dominate the hospital market, with their surgery centers typically charging higher facility fees than independent practices. Ambulatory surgery centers have grown throughout central Indiana, often providing the same procedures at lower costs than hospital-based facilities. Academic medical centers like IU Health Methodist may charge premium rates but offer specialized reconstructive options not available elsewhere.

Insurance Market Competition in Indiana

Anthem holds significant market share as the state's Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate, while UnitedHealthCare and regional player MDwise provide competition in most counties. This three-way competition has helped keep negotiated rates reasonable compared to states with less insurer choice. Rural areas may have fewer in-network options, potentially driving up out-of-pocket costs for patients living outside metro areas.

Physician Supply and Demand in Indiana

With 273 active mastectomy providers serving approximately 6.8 million residents, Indiana maintains adequate surgical capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural counties. This supply-demand balance keeps wait times reasonable in cities like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne while potentially creating longer delays in smaller communities. The concentration of providers in central Indiana helps maintain competitive pricing through market competition.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mastectomy Costs in Indiana

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

Uninsured patients in Indiana typically pay between $85 and $1,818 for mastectomy procedures, with a median cost around $775. However, these figures represent negotiated insurance rates rather than cash prices, which are often higher. Many Indiana hospitals and surgical centers offer significant self-pay discounts, sometimes 20-40% off standard charges, so always ask about cash-pay pricing and payment plan options.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover Mastectomy visits?

Indiana did not expand Medicaid, leaving many low-income adults without coverage, but traditional Medicaid does cover medically necessary mastectomy procedures for eligible beneficiaries including children, pregnant women, and disabled adults. The state's Healthy Indiana Plan provides some coverage for adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Coverage includes both the surgical procedure and necessary follow-up care, though prior authorization may be required for reconstructive procedures.

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

Compare prices between hospital-based surgery centers and independent surgical practices, as costs can vary significantly within the same city. Many Indiana providers offer self-pay discounts ranging from 20-40% off standard rates for uninsured patients. Community health centers in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville may provide sliding-scale fee options, and some academic medical centers offer charity care programs for qualifying patients.

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

Initial mastectomy consultations typically involve comprehensive evaluation, imaging review, and treatment planning, while follow-up visits focus on post-operative care, wound healing assessment, and reconstruction planning if applicable. The consultation visit usually costs more due to the time involved in reviewing medical history, performing physical examination, and discussing surgical options. Most follow-up visits within 90 days of surgery are included in the global surgical fee, so you shouldn't receive separate charges for routine post-operative care.

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

Yes, mastectomy procedures are qualified medical expenses under both Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) rules. This includes the surgical procedure itself, anesthesia, facility fees, and related medical expenses like surgical garments or prosthetics. Keep all receipts and documentation, as you may need them for reimbursement or tax purposes, especially for HSA accounts which can be audited.

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

While the actual mastectomy procedure must be performed in person, many Indiana surgeons offer telehealth consultations for initial evaluations, second opinions, or follow-up appointments. These virtual visits typically cost 10-30% less than in-person consultations and can save travel time for patients in rural areas. However, physical examination is usually necessary before surgery, so expect at least one in-person visit regardless of initial telehealth consultations.
