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 Ohio

Ohio's surgical costs run approximately 2% below national averages, reflecting the state's moderate cost of living and competitive healthcare market. The state's balanced mix of urban medical centers and rural facilities creates diverse pricing options across different regions.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Ohio's major metropolitan areas like Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati offer numerous mastectomy specialists and advanced surgical facilities, while rural counties may have limited local options requiring travel to regional medical centers. Urban areas typically feature higher facility fees due to increased overhead costs, but also provide more competitive pricing through greater provider density. Rural patients often find lower surgical fees but may incur additional travel and lodging expenses for specialized care.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned surgical centers affiliated with systems like Cleveland Clinic, OhioHealth, and Kettering Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgical centers. Academic medical centers such as those affiliated with Ohio State University and Case Western Reserve University often have premium pricing but offer access to cutting-edge surgical techniques. Free-standing surgical centers generally provide the most cost-effective option for routine mastectomy procedures.

Insurance Market Competition in Ohio

Strong competition among Medical Mutual, Anthem, and UHC has helped keep negotiated surgical rates relatively reasonable compared to states with less insurer competition. The state's robust insurance marketplace offers multiple plan options, creating leverage for better provider contract terms. Regional insurers like Medical Mutual maintain extensive provider networks that can offer competitive rates for Ohio-based surgical procedures.

Physician Supply and Demand in Ohio

With over 3,200 active mastectomy providers, Ohio maintains adequate surgical capacity to meet patient demand without significant supply-driven price inflation. The state's medical schools and residency programs help maintain steady provider pipeline, preventing the specialist shortages seen in some other states. This healthy provider-to-population ratio contributes to competitive pricing and reasonable wait times for both consultation and surgical scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mastectomy Costs in Ohio

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

Without insurance, mastectomy consultations in Ohio range from $303 to $1,175, with a median cost of $598. These rates reflect what insurance companies have negotiated with providers, though self-pay patients often receive discounts of 30-50% off standard billing rates. Many Ohio surgical practices offer payment plans and financial assistance programs to help manage these costs.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover Mastectomy visits?

Yes, Ohio Medicaid covers medically necessary mastectomy procedures through the state's expanded Medicaid program. Prior authorization may be required for certain reconstruction options or elective procedures. Coverage includes both the surgical procedure and related consultations, though specific benefits depend on your Medicaid managed care plan.

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

Compare costs across different facility types, as independent surgical centers often charge less than hospital-owned facilities. Ask about self-pay discounts and payment plans, which can reduce costs significantly. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers throughout Ohio may offer sliding scale fees based on income for uninsured patients.

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

Initial mastectomy consultations typically cost between $303-$1,175 based on complexity and provider type. Follow-up visits generally range from $150-$400 depending on the level of care required. The significant difference reflects the time needed for comprehensive evaluation, imaging review, and treatment planning during initial consultations versus routine follow-up care.

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

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 consultation fees, surgical procedures, and reconstruction. Keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes, as these accounts provide valuable tax savings for surgical expenses.

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

Telemedicine consultations for initial evaluations or follow-up care typically cost 20-30% less than in-person visits. However, physical examination is usually required for surgical planning, limiting telemedicine to specific consultation types. Ohio providers increasingly offer hybrid care models, using telehealth for pre-operative consultations and post-operative check-ins to reduce overall care costs.
