Cost and Insurance
The cost of myomectomy in Houston varies widely depending on the facility, surgeon, and type of procedure. Outpatient surgery centers typically offer procedures in the $2,400–$7,400 range, while hospital-based surgeries may be higher.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary fibroid removal, but it is important to confirm coverage and obtain a cost estimate before scheduling surgery.
Non-surgical options like UFE are also widely available in Houston and may offer lower out-of-pocket costs and faster recovery for some patients.
