Quick take

  • Freestanding ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are often 30-60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments for the same procedure and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset - ask your doctor if one is an option.

California has the most competitive commercial hospital market in the country, with aggressive multi-system competition in every major metro driving meaningful price variation. Kaiser Permanente's integrated payer-provider model covers roughly 40% of the insured population in the state - if you're Kaiser-enrolled, the prices here largely don't apply. California's robust price transparency enforcement under SB 1204 means the data here is more complete than in most states. 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

Facility classification matters as much as the hospital itself - a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not.

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 ~$598
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$120
Out-of-network provider $1,316+
