Hysterectomy Cost (2026): $2,144–$4,674

Let's calculate yours

Your actual cost depends on your insurance type, facility choice, and deductible status. Prices reflect 2026 national averages.

Hysterectomy is surgical removal of the uterus, performed for conditions including fibroids, endometriosis, cancer, and prolapse. Approach (abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic) significantly affects cost.

Hysterectomy Cost by State

Compare prices across all 50 states. Prices shown are the 25th–70th percentile range from hospital-reported data — the range where most patients' actual charges fall.

Why Hysterectomy Costs Vary

• Surgical approach: Laparoscopic and robotic approaches cost 10–20% more in OR time but result in shorter stays and lower total cost.
• Extent of surgery: Removing ovaries and fallopian tubes (oophorectomy) in addition to the uterus adds $1,000–$3,000.
• Cancer vs. benign: Oncologic hysterectomy requires more extensive surgery and staging, often 40–60% more expensive.
• Length of stay: Abdominal hysterectomy typically requires 2–3 nights; laparoscopic 1–2 nights. Each night adds $2,000–$3,500.

Bottom line: Where you get care matters more than almost any other factor. Two hospitals 10 miles apart can charge 3–5× different prices for the same procedure.

How to Use This Data

These prices come from hospital price transparency files that hospitals are required by law to publish. They represent the range of what hospitals declare as their charges — actual negotiated rates with insurers are typically 40–60% lower.

If you have insurance: Your out-of-pocket cost is determined by your deductible, coinsurance, and your insurer's negotiated rate with the specific facility. Call your insurer for a pre-service cost estimate before scheduling.

If you are uninsured: Call 2–3 facilities directly and ask for their self-pay or cash-pay rate. Most facilities offer 20–50% discounts off list prices for upfront payment.

If you received a bill: Upload it to CostKits to compare what you were charged against what other facilities in your state reported.
