New York law (Public Health Law §2807-k(9-a), as amended in October 2024): uninsured patients with income below 200% of the federal poverty level owe nothing for emergency and medically necessary hospital care; up to 400% they pay on a sliding scale of at most 10% or 20% of what Medicaid would pay. Emergency care is covered for New York residents, other care for people living in the hospital's service area; immigration status does not count. Ask for the Uniform Hospital Financial Assistance form. Other states' laws.

Knee, hip and shoulder replacements are among the most expensive planned operations. The hospital price in the price files usually covers the operating room, the implant and the hospital stay or recovery, while the surgeon and anesthesia bill separately. More joint replacements are now done as outpatient surgery, and ambulatory surgery centers and direct-contract programs often quote one bundled cash price.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
  • Ask whether the implant, physical therapy and any overnight stay are included.
  • Surgery centers and direct-pay programs often publish one all-in price that is far below hospital prices.
