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 New Mexico
Where New Mexico ranks for this CPT
Partial Mastectomy and how New Mexico is priced
A single statewide locality covers New Mexico, with geographic indices below the national average, so Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and the most remote high-desert communities share one set of Medicare-approved amounts. The state benefits from the floor CMS applies to the physician work index, which lifts low-cost states toward parity. Uniform pricing across a state this large and sparse means the fee schedule is the easy part; finding a provider is often the harder one. Las Cruces and the border region price identically to the Albuquerque metro.
Albuquerque holds the state's academic medical center and most of its specialists, and for many New Mexicans it is the only in-state option for advanced procedures. The Indian Health Service and tribal facilities are central to care across large parts of the state. Residents of the southeast often use Texas providers in Lubbock or El Paso, and northern communities sometimes look to Colorado.
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 New Mexico: questions
New Mexico is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 19301 is $631.59 in an office and $631.59 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. New Mexico 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 $126 for the office physician line or $126 for the hospital physician line in New Mexico. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $631.59 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. New Mexico ranks #32 of 51 states on the physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $632.61).
