Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated and below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
A total hip replacement removes the damaged ball and socket of the hip joint and replaces them with artificial parts. It is most often done for severe arthritis or some hip fractures, to relieve pain and improve movement.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the operating room, implants and hospital stay. The surgeon's fee, anesthesia, physical therapy after discharge and follow-up imaging are often billed separately, unless a bundled package is offered.
