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 $3,146 on the Medicare allowed amount for laparoscopic removal of ovarian cyst. 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 Nebraska
Where Nebraska ranks for this CPT
Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst and how Nebraska is priced
One locality prices all of Nebraska, with low geographic indices typical of the Plains, so Omaha, Lincoln, and the Sandhills ranch country share the same Medicare-approved amounts. The statewide setup means Nebraska's largest metro carries no fee schedule premium over its most remote village. Practice costs in Omaha do run above the rural average, but CMS averages that into one set of factors. Patients can treat the statewide numbers here as applicable anywhere in Nebraska.
Omaha is the state's medical anchor, with an academic medical center of national standing and a market that also serves western Iowa, while Lincoln adds a second urban hub. Outstate Nebraska depends heavily on critical access hospitals, and residents of the Panhandle often find Denver or Rapid City closer than Omaha for specialty care. Long travel distances are simply part of rural care planning here.
This procedure: This laparoscopic surgery removes an ovarian cyst along with the ovary or fallopian tube structures involved, through small abdominal incisions using a camera. It is performed when a cyst is large, persistent, painful, or has features that need definitive removal and testing. Under general anesthesia the operation typically takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with about one to two weeks of recovery.
What Is Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst?
This laparoscopic surgery removes an ovarian cyst along with the ovary or fallopian tube structures involved, through small abdominal incisions using a camera. It is performed when a cyst is large, persistent, painful, or has features that need definitive removal and testing. Under general anesthesia the operation typically takes one to two hours, and most patients go home the same day with about one to two weeks of recovery.
What Affects the Cost
- –Pathology examination of the removed cyst and ovarian tissue is a separate lab charge, and suspicious findings can trigger more extensive analysis.
- –Whether one or both sides are addressed, and whether the ovary is preserved or removed, affects coding and price.
- –A frozen-section analysis during surgery, where a pathologist gives an immediate read while you are still on the table, adds a distinct pathology charge.
- –Emergency surgery for a ruptured or twisted cyst wraps the procedure into a costlier urgent hospital admission.
- –Facility fees at hospital outpatient departments exceed those at ambulatory surgery centers where this surgery is offered.
- –Pre-operative imaging, usually ultrasound and sometimes MRI, plus tumor marker blood tests, form part of the full episode cost.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Will you try to preserve the ovary, and how does that change the procedure code and cost?
- 2.Is a frozen-section pathology read planned during surgery, and what does it cost?
- 3.What happens to my bill if you find something unexpected and the surgery becomes more extensive?
- 4.Are the anesthesia provider and pathology lab in my network?
- 5.Can this be done at a surgery center instead of the hospital, and what is the difference in facility fees?

Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cyst in Nebraska: questions
Nebraska is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 58661 is $530.75 in an office and $530.75 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Nebraska 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 $106 for the office physician line or $106 for the hospital physician line in Nebraska. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $530.75 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $6,763 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $3,617 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Nebraska ranks #1 of 51 states on the physician line (9% below the national office rate of $586.19).
