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 Utah

Utah's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive insurance market dynamics. The concentration of major health systems along the Wasatch Front creates pricing efficiencies, while rural areas face higher per-visit costs due to limited surgical specialist availability.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

The Salt Lake City and Utah County metro areas contain the majority of Utah's mastectomy specialists, while rural regions like southeastern Utah and the northern mountain counties often require patients to travel significant distances for surgical consultations. This geographic disparity contributes to higher effective costs for rural patients when factoring in travel and time away from work.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

University of Utah Health, Intermountain Healthcare, and other major health systems dominate Utah's surgical landscape with hospital-based practices that typically carry higher facility fees. Independent surgical groups and ambulatory surgery centers offer competitive alternatives, particularly in the Salt Lake and Provo markets where provider density supports multiple practice models.

Insurance Market Competition in Utah

Utah's insurance market benefits from strong regional competition between SelectHealth, BCBS UT, and UHC, along with several smaller carriers serving niche markets. This competitive environment has helped maintain negotiated rates for surgical procedures below national averages, though patients in rural counties may face more limited in-network options.

Physician Supply and Demand in Utah

With 354 active providers performing mastectomy procedures, Utah maintains adequate surgical capacity relative to its population, particularly in urban areas. The state's growing population and aging demographics are increasing demand for both reconstructive and oncologic mastectomy procedures, though current provider supply appears sufficient to prevent significant wait times or price inflation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mastectomy Costs in Utah

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

Without insurance, mastectomy consultations in Utah range from $85 to $1,449, with a median cost of $1,363 based on negotiated rates from 354 providers. Many surgical practices offer cash discounts of 20-40% for uninsured patients who pay at the time of service. The wide cost range reflects differences between hospital-based surgical clinics and independent practices throughout the state.

Does Utah Medicaid cover Mastectomy visits?

Yes, Utah Medicaid covers mastectomy consultations and procedures for eligible members, particularly since the state's Medicaid expansion improved access to surgical specialties. Coverage includes both medically necessary mastectomies for cancer treatment and reconstructive procedures, typically with minimal copays. Prior authorization may be required for certain elective or prophylactic procedures.

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

Compare costs between hospital-based practices and independent surgical groups, as fees can vary significantly across Utah's major health systems. Look for community health centers or surgical practices that offer sliding scale fees based on income. Many Utah providers offer payment plans or cash discounts that can reduce out-of-pocket costs by hundreds of dollars.

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

Initial mastectomy consultations in Utah typically cost between $85-$1,449 based on the complexity of the case and facility type, while follow-up visits are generally less expensive. Established patient visits for post-surgical care or ongoing monitoring usually cost significantly less than comprehensive new patient evaluations. The exact cost difference depends on your insurance plan's specialist visit structure and the surgeon's billing practices.

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

Yes, both HSA and FSA funds can be used to pay for mastectomy consultations and procedures in Utah, as these are considered qualified medical expenses. This includes consultations for both medically necessary and elective mastectomy procedures. Keep receipts for tax purposes and check with your HSA/FSA administrator about any specific documentation requirements for surgical procedures.

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

Telemedicine consultations for mastectomy-related care typically cost less than in-person visits, though initial surgical evaluations usually require physical examination. Many Utah surgical practices offer virtual follow-up appointments or second opinion consultations at reduced rates. However, most insurance plans require in-person visits for surgical planning and pre-operative evaluations, limiting the cost-saving potential of telehealth for mastectomy care.
