Data last refreshed: May 28, 2026

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a major surgery performed through small abdominal incisions to remove the uterus. It is usually less invasive than an open abdominal hysterectomy, but the bill is still built from operating-room time, facility charges, surgeon and anesthesia fees, pathology, and any inpatient stay.

Many price searches point to CPT 58571, which describes a total laparoscopic hysterectomy for a uterus 250 grams or less. Related codes apply when uterus weight is higher or when additional structures are removed. Those code details matter because hospitals price each code differently.

This guide explains the cost drivers and links to cleartau's hospital package comparison when available. Use it as reference data, then verify the exact CPT code, setting, anesthesia, and whether pathology and professional fees are included in any quote.

What affects the price

CPT code and uterus weight: CPT 58571 is a common total laparoscopic hysterectomy code for uterus weight 250g or less. Higher-weight cases and additional procedures use different codes and can cost more.
Outpatient vs. inpatient: Some laparoscopic hysterectomies are outpatient or short-stay cases, while others require inpatient admission. Inpatient stays add room, nursing, and severity-based facility charges.
Professional and anesthesia fees: The surgeon, assistant surgeon, and anesthesiologist may bill separately from the hospital facility. A hospital price file may not show the full all-in patient bill.
Pathology and added procedures: Removed tissue is usually sent to pathology. Removal of ovaries or fallopian tubes, adhesiolysis, cystoscopy, or treatment of complications can add charges.

Cost without insurance

Ask for an all-in self-pay quote that states whether the surgeon, anesthesia, assistant, pathology, and facility are included. A facility-only number is not enough for a surgery this large.

Compare hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery centers if your surgeon says outpatient surgery is appropriate. The setting can change the cash price materially.

If a nonprofit hospital is the only appropriate setting, ask about financial assistance and prompt-pay discounts before scheduling.

Cost with insurance

With insurance, expect deductible and coinsurance to apply, and a surgery this large can push you toward your out-of-pocket maximum.

Prior authorization is common. Confirm the exact CPT code and authorization with your insurer, and verify that the hospital, surgeon, assistant, anesthesiologist, and pathology group are in-network.

Ask whether the case is planned as outpatient or inpatient, because that can change how the claim is processed and what you owe.

How to pay less

Confirm the exact CPT code, likely setting, and whether additional procedures are expected.

Compare facilities and ask whether an ambulatory surgery center is appropriate.

Verify every billing entity is in-network and get the estimate in writing.
