Quick take
- Tacoma General Allenmore Hospital is the lowest-cost option at $2,500 - $3,244 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 $5,744, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Ask the hospital whether your procedure will be billed as outpatient or inpatient - the two are priced differently, so confirm with your insurer first if it is planned.
Providence Health, Swedish Health Services (a Providence affiliate), and UW Medicine compete in the Western Washington market. Kaiser Permanente Washington has substantial commercial market share in the Puget Sound area. Eastern Washington operates as a distinct, lower-cost market anchored by Providence and MultiCare. Washington state has active price transparency enforcement. 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 (2) report prices above $9,192, including Public Hospital District No.1 of King County Washington dba Valley Medical Center at $33,353, 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 $5,744 versus $4,937 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$5,744 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$1,149 |
| Out-of-network provider | $12,637+ |
