What Drives the Range
- Facility type: Outpatient surgery centers generally charge less than hospitals for the same procedure.
- Geography: Costs vary significantly by region and even by city.
- Technique: Bilateral salpingectomy can carry a modestly different price than tubal ligation depending on operative time and facility billing.
- Insurance status: The single biggest factor — most ACA-compliant plans cover the procedure at no cost when done in-network.
- Anesthesia and facility fees: Often billed separately from the surgeon's fee; see our what's included in pricing page.
