Quick take
- Marshall Medical Center North is the lowest-cost option at $2,120 - $1,225 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $3,664, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

Alabama's hospital market is concentrated around UAB Health System in Birmingham and Baptist Health statewide, limiting competitive pricing pressure outside the major metros. Rural facilities operate with thinner margins and fewer negotiated-rate contracts, which typically produces higher list prices alongside steeper cash discounts. Hysterectomy costs vary primarily by surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) and inpatient vs. outpatient classification. Robotic-assisted procedures carry higher facility fees and may not offer better outcomes for routine cases. Most commercial plans cover medically necessary hysterectomy after the deductible; elective or fertility-related procedures may face different coverage rules. Anesthesia and pathology are billed separately from the facility and surgeon.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (5) report prices above $8,895, including Mizell Memorial Hospital, Inc. at $15,752, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $3,348 versus $3,859 inpatient (about 1.2× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$6,043 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$1,209 |
| Out-of-network provider | $13,295+ |
