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.
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 Wyoming
Wyoming's mastectomy costs run approximately 31% above national averages, reflecting the state's challenging rural healthcare delivery system. Limited provider networks and vast distances between medical facilities create unique cost pressures across the state's 23 counties.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Most of Wyoming's 174 mastectomy providers concentrate in Cheyenne, Casper, and other larger towns, leaving rural residents facing long travel distances for care. This geographic disparity means patients in remote counties may pay higher costs due to limited local options and the need to travel to urban centers. Some rural areas have no local breast surgeons, requiring referrals to specialists hours away.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned surgical centers typically charge more than independent surgical practices in Wyoming, reflecting higher overhead costs and facility fees. Major health systems like Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and Wyoming Medical Center operate most surgical facilities, giving them significant pricing power. Independent surgical practices are less common but may offer more competitive pricing for self-pay patients.
Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming holds a dominant market position, followed by UnitedHealthcare and Cigna, creating limited insurer competition. This concentration allows insurers to negotiate more aggressively with providers but may result in narrower networks for patients. The lack of robust competition can lead to higher negotiated rates compared to states with more diverse insurance markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming
With only 174 active mastectomy providers serving nearly 580,000 residents, Wyoming faces a relative shortage of breast surgeons compared to national averages. This supply constraint drives up prices and can extend wait times for non-emergency procedures. The limited specialist pool also reduces competition, allowing established providers to maintain higher pricing levels.
