Medicaid
Medicaid is run by each state, and it pays fixed rates to the providers that accept it, so the price doesn't change from one hospital to the next. Most people on Medicaid owe nothing or a small copay for covered care, but what's covered and what you owe depends on your state and plan. CostKits doesn't show a Medicaid price here because those rates are set by the state, not negotiated by each hospital. The question that matters is whether the provider accepts your Medicaid plan, so ask before you schedule.

Massachusetts has the highest commercial hospital reimbursement rates in the country, driven by extreme labor costs, the dominance of Mass General Brigham (Partners HealthCare), and a regulatory environment that has struggled to contain negotiated rate growth. The state has enacted multiple price transparency and rate growth laws aimed at curbing this pattern. Self-pay cash discounts in Massachusetts tend to be proportionally larger than in other high-cost states. Hip replacement is one of the highest-cost elective procedures in orthopedic surgery, with total episode costs (surgery, implant, anesthesia, facility, and 90-day follow-up) ranging from $20,000–$50,000+. The implant device alone accounts for 30–40% of the facility charge. Medicare Advantage plans increasingly carve out joint replacement to preferred facilities using bundled payment arrangements, which can significantly lower your out-of-pocket costs if you use a designated center of excellence.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $3,486 versus $3,759 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Setting drives much of the spread here: whether the hospital bills the stay as outpatient or inpatient changes the facility fee, which is why two similar hospitals can bill very differently for the same procedure.
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$3,486 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$697 |
| Out-of-network provider | $7,669+ |
