Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for shoulder replacement, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $36,140.26 and the lowest a median of $3,130.55. At 374 of 457 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CPT 23472?
A total shoulder replacement replaces the ball and socket of the shoulder with artificial parts.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the operating room, recovery and supplies. The surgeon and anesthesia usually bill separately.
Why prices differ
Ambulatory surgery centers often charge much less than hospitals, and hospital prices for the same operation vary widely.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 23472 is a bundled price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia and follow-up visits.

Common questions
What is CPT code 23472?
CPT 23472 is the billing code for total shoulder replacement. A total shoulder replacement replaces the ball and socket of the shoulder with artificial parts.
Is it done as an outpatient?
More and more often, with discharge the same day.
How long is recovery?
Several months, with physical therapy.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for shoulder replacement?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for shoulder replacement has a median of $36,140.26 and the lowest a median of $3,130.55; at 374 of 457 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.
Which states have the cheapest shoulder replacement?
Among 35 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Arkansas ($4,569.30), Minnesota ($5,702.99) and Wisconsin ($6,045.20), and highest in Virginia ($55,467.55), Ohio ($54,508.43) and South Carolina ($53,715.02). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
