What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $3,503 on the Medicare allowed amount for total hip replacement. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
Medicare pays the hospital a single comprehensive amount for this procedure, covering the facility's share of the encounter including implants and supplies. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.

PE GPCI ranges from 0.913 to 0.965 in Michigan. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Total Hip Replacement and how Michigan is priced
Michigan divides into a Detroit metro locality and a rest-of-state locality, so the fee schedule prices southeast Michigan above Grand Rapids, Lansing, and the northern reaches. Detroit's locality reflects the metro's higher wage and cost structure, while everywhere else in the Lower and Upper Peninsulas shares one set of lower adjustments. The result is a simple two-tier state where the main question is whether your care happens inside the Detroit area or out. Upper Peninsula residents, despite their remoteness, price the same as Grand Rapids under the rest-of-state locality.
Southeast Michigan concentrates the state's academic medicine and largest hospital systems, with Ann Arbor's university medical center serving as a top national referral destination. West Michigan has built a strong hospital hub in Grand Rapids, while the Upper Peninsula's small population depends on a few regional hospitals and sometimes crosses into Wisconsin for care. Auto-industry benefit legacies still shape how many Michiganders experience health coverage.
This procedure: Total hip replacement removes a worn or damaged hip joint, usually destroyed by arthritis, and replaces it with a metal, ceramic, and plastic implant. It is one of the most successful operations in medicine for relieving pain and restoring walking. The surgery takes one to two hours under general or spinal anesthesia; many patients now go home the same day or after one night, then spend several weeks in physical therapy.
What Is Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip replacement removes a worn or damaged hip joint, usually destroyed by arthritis, and replaces it with a metal, ceramic, and plastic implant. It is one of the most successful operations in medicine for relieving pain and restoring walking. The surgery takes one to two hours under general or spinal anesthesia; many patients now go home the same day or after one night, then spend several weeks in physical therapy.
What Affects the Cost
- –The implant itself is a major cost component, and prices vary widely between manufacturers and hospitals.
- –Same-day discharge at an ambulatory surgery center can cost dramatically less than an inpatient hospital stay.
- –Post-operative physical therapy, whether at home, outpatient, or in a rehab facility, is a significant separate expense over weeks.
- –The anesthesia team bills by time, and spinal versus general anesthesia can affect both cost and recovery.
- –Pre-surgical clearance testing, such as labs, an ECG, and imaging, generates its own set of charges.
- –Robotic-assisted or computer-navigated surgery may carry additional facility charges at some hospitals.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Am I a candidate for same-day or outpatient surgery, and how much would that reduce the facility charge?
- 2.What implant brand do you use, and does my choice affect what I pay?
- 3.Has prior authorization been approved, including documentation of the conservative care I already tried?
- 4.What will physical therapy cost after surgery, and how many visits does my plan cover?
- 5.Does my insurer have a designated joint replacement center with lower out-of-pocket costs?
