How Much Does Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Cost?

This procedure involves the total abdominal removal of the uterus and cervix, with or without removal of the fallopian tubes or ovaries. It is performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or gynecological cancers.

Step 1 · The typical price
Typical hospital rate
$7,981
The midpoint of published hospital rates from 499 hospitals. Half are higher, half are lower.
$4,998
$15,452

The middle half of rates falls in this range. Some hospitals publish rates well outside it.

💡 The doctor's Medicare fee is $938 — that's what the physician receives. Hospital/facility charges are separate.

Step 2 · Your city

What does Total Abdominal Hysterectomy cost where you live?

Prices vary by location. Pick your city to see local hospital prices. City figures come from a smaller set of hospitals, each counted once, so they can differ from the national figure above.

Why do prices differ between cities and hospitals?

Several things move the price a hospital publishes:

  • Hospitals set their own prices. There's no national price for a procedure, so two hospitals — even in the same city — can charge wildly different amounts for identical care.
  • Local costs differ. Wages, rent, and malpractice insurance are far higher in big metros (e.g. San Francisco, New York) than in smaller cities. Medicare adjusts the doctor's fee for this, but only modestly; hospital charges swing much more.
  • Competition matters. In areas with few hospitals or one dominant health system, prices tend to run higher. Competitive markets push them down.
  • Insurer contracts vary by region, which moves both the negotiated and cash prices.

💡 A higher price does not tell you the care is better, and this data cannot tell you why one hospital charges more. It's worth comparing hospitals and asking for the cash/self-pay rate, which can be below the list price.

Common Questions

How much does Total Abdominal Hysterectomy cost?
The typical published hospital rate for Total Abdominal Hysterectomy is $7,981. The middle half of rates runs from $4,998 to $15,452. What you pay depends on your insurance and the hospital.

Why is the price so different between hospitals?
Hospitals set their own prices, and rates vary with insurance contracts, facility costs and the local market. Two hospitals can publish very different rates for the same procedure, so it is worth comparing.
Why does Total Abdominal Hysterectomy cost more in some cities than others?
There is no national price for a hospital procedure. Each hospital sets its own rates, and local costs, competition and insurer contracts all play a part. Our data shows the differences but cannot tell you the reason for any one hospital's price.
What should I ask before scheduling?
Ask for the total estimated bill (including facility + anesthesia + supplies), whether the service is covered by your insurance, if the procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery center (typically 30-60% cheaper), and what the cash-pay rate is.
