Quick take
- Morristown-Hamblen Hospital Association is the lowest-cost option at $1,575 - $543 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 $2,418, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- 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.

HCA Healthcare, headquartered in Nashville, has significant hospital presence in its home state, creating pricing patterns more aligned with for-profit hospital economics than nonprofit systems in comparable markets. Vanderbilt University Medical Center anchors the Nashville academic tier. Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA, maintaining a high uninsured rate that influences facility pricing structures. 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 (3) report prices above $11,042, including STRHS Pulaski at $19,839, 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 $2,118 versus $5,824 inpatient (about 2.7× 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 | ~$4,816 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$963 |
| Out-of-network provider | $10,595+ |

Why is a hysterectomy so much cheaper at some Tennessee hospitals?
Prices vary up to 191.3× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Tennessee, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,418 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,454 - about 1.7× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a hysterectomy in Tennessee?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

What matters before you schedule
ASC vs. hospital
Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than ASCs or independent centers for the same hysterectomy - same outcome, very different bill. Call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote at each setting you're considering.
What's on your bill
A hysterectomy involves multiple providers who bill separately - typically Facility Fee, Ob Gyn Surgeon Professional Fee, Anesthesia. Check each line item against your Explanation of Benefits to catch billing errors.
Cost by type

What to ask before you book
Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for hysterectomy before you schedule.
