What is a Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy can be performed vaginally, laparoscopically, robotically, or through open abdominal surgery. The procedure may remove only the uterus (partial) or include the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes (total with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy).
Common Billing Codes (CPT/DRG)

Hysterectomy is covered when medically necessary for fibroids, endometriosis, cancer, or other conditions. Elective hysterectomy for sterilization may have different coverage. Prior authorization is typically required.
Before Scheduling, Ask:
- 1.Is this facility in my insurance network?
- 2.Does this procedure require prior authorization?
- 3.What is my out-of-pocket cost after deductible?
- 4.Is there a cash-pay discount if I pay upfront?
When Do You Need a Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy is considered for uterine fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, uterine prolapse, or gynecologic cancers. It's a last resort after other treatments fail, except for cancer.
