What it is
ACL reconstruction rebuilds a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee with a tendon graft, using a small camera and instruments through small cuts. It is commonly done for knee instability after a sports or twisting injury.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating room, recovery and often the screws or anchors; a donor tendon graft, if used, may be listed separately. The surgeon, anesthesia (often with a nerve block) and physical therapy afterward are billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery centers, with graft type (your own tendon or donor tissue), and with extra work such as meniscus repair in the same surgery.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 29888 includes the graft and implants, and whether the surgeon and anesthesia fees are separate.

Common questions
Will meniscus work change the price?
Yes. Repairing or trimming a torn meniscus in the same surgery is billed with additional codes, which usually adds to the total.
How long is recovery?
Physical therapy usually lasts several months, and a return to sports often takes around 9 months or longer. Your surgeon will give a specific plan.
Other knee arthroscopy prices
Median hospital cash price, one per hospital.
