Questions to ask your hospital or insurer

The gross charge is the starting point. These are the procedure-specific questions to ask before you commit:

• Is the surgeon, anesthesiologist, implant, and on-site physical therapy included in this estimate?
• Is the orthopedic surgeon and anesthesia group in-network for my insurance?
• What is the typical out-of-pocket once my deductible and coinsurance apply?
• What is the hospital's surgical-site infection rate for joint replacements?
• Will I be discharged home or to a skilled nursing facility? Is that cost covered?
