What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $2,397 on the Medicare allowed amount for partial mastectomy. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
Medicare pays the hospital a single comprehensive amount for this procedure, covering the facility's share of the encounter including implants and supplies. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs Arkansas
Where Arkansas ranks for this CPT
Partial Mastectomy and how Arkansas is priced
One payment locality covers the whole of Arkansas, and its geographic indices are among the lowest CMS publishes, so Medicare-approved amounts here sit near the bottom of the national range. A clinic visit in Little Rock is priced with the same adjustments as one in the Delta or the Ozarks. For consumers this means the statewide numbers on this site are a close match for almost any Arkansas address. The bigger price swings come from whether a procedure is billed in a hospital department or an independent office.
Little Rock is the state's referral hub, home to its academic medical center and the densest concentration of specialists, with Northwest Arkansas growing quickly as a second center of care. Large parts of the Delta and the mountain counties have limited local options, so traveling for procedures is routine. Lower area wages also mean cash prices for care in Arkansas often undercut national averages.
This procedure: A partial mastectomy, commonly called a lumpectomy, removes a breast tumor along with a rim of surrounding healthy tissue while preserving the rest of the breast. It is the surgical core of breast-conserving treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The operation is done under general anesthesia in a hospital or surgery center, usually takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with soreness managed by oral medication.
What Is Partial Mastectomy?
A partial mastectomy, commonly called a lumpectomy, removes a breast tumor along with a rim of surrounding healthy tissue while preserving the rest of the breast. It is the surgical core of breast-conserving treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The operation is done under general anesthesia in a hospital or surgery center, usually takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with soreness managed by oral medication.
What Affects the Cost
- –Lymph node procedures done at the same time, such as sentinel node biopsy with radioactive tracer and dye, are billed as separate surgical codes.
- –Pre-surgical wire or radioactive seed localization to mark a tumor that cannot be felt adds a radiology procedure charge.
- –The anesthesia team bills separately based on the length of the operation.
- –Pathology charges for examining the tumor, the margins, and any lymph nodes are substantial and billed by the lab.
- –Hospital outpatient departments usually cost more than ambulatory surgery centers for the identical operation.
- –If margins come back positive, a second re-excision surgery repeats many of these charges.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Will you also do a sentinel lymph node biopsy, and what does that add to the total?
- 2.Is the surgery scheduled at a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center, and can I choose the cheaper setting?
- 3.What happens to my costs if the margins are positive and you need to operate again?
- 4.Are the anesthesiologist and pathology lab in my network?
- 5.Which follow-up visits are included in the 90-day global surgical period?

Partial Mastectomy in Arkansas: questions
Arkansas is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 19301 is $560.76 in an office and $560.76 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Arkansas uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $112 for the office physician line or $112 for the hospital physician line in Arkansas. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $560.76 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $4,633 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $2,236 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Arkansas ranks #1 of 51 states on the physician line (11% below the national office rate of $632.61).
