How much does a mastectomy cost?

The cost of a mastectomy can vary widely depending on factors such as location, type of surgery, hospital fees, and whether the patient has insurance. In the United States, the total cost can range from $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Insurance coverage often significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses, but it’s important for patients to check their specific benefits. Additional costs may arise from follow-up care, reconstruction, and related treatments.
