What is hip & knee replacement?
Major joint replacement or reattachment of the lower extremity — most commonly elective hip or knee replacement surgery.
Hip & Knee Replacement is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 470, classified within the Musculoskeletal diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
