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.
National vs Minnesota
Where Minnesota ranks for this CPT
Total Hip Replacement and how Minnesota is priced
Minnesota's physician fees are set through a small number of Medicare payment localities rather than a single statewide one, distinguishing the Twin Cities region from the rest of the state. Geographic adjustments in the metro run higher than in greater Minnesota, though the gap is modest by coastal standards. The state is otherwise notable for how its practice patterns, historically efficient and integrated, have featured in national Medicare policy debates. From Duluth to Worthington, non-metro Minnesota prices off common lower-cost factors.
The Twin Cities host a dense, integrated medical market, and Rochester is home to one of the most famous referral centers in the world, drawing patients from every state and abroad. Greater Minnesota relies on regional hubs like Duluth, St. Cloud, and Mankato, with long winter drives a real factor in care planning. Minnesota's tradition of integrated group practice tends to make billing more coordinated than in many states.
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?

Total Hip Replacement in Minnesota: questions
Minnesota is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 27130 is $1,078.05 in an office and $1,078.05 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Minnesota uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $216 for the office physician line or $216 for the hospital physician line in Minnesota. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $1,078.05 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $14,279 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $10,776 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Minnesota ranks #12 of 51 states on the physician line (7% below the national office rate of $1,162.02).
