Hip Replacement Cost in Maine (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay
What does a hip replacement cost in Maine?
For a commercially insured patient, a hip replacement in Maine typically runs $4,519–$9,940 once facility and physician fees are combined. The median reported facility price across 22 hospitals is $2,416. The figures draw on CMS fee schedules and hospital price transparency data published under federal law.
MaineHealth is the dominant system and covers most of Maine's hospital capacity, creating a largely non-competitive market outside Portland. Maine's extensive rural hospital network includes many critical access facilities where cost-based Medicare reimbursement applies. Northern Maine is one of the most medically isolated regions in the Eastern US. 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.

Quick take
- Charles A. Dean Memorial Hospital is the lowest-cost option at $2,028 - $388 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,447, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (9) report prices above $6,519, including Cary Medical Center at $8,319, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $2,344 versus $2,158 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Setting drives most of the spread here: an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is usually meaningfully cheaper than a hospital operating room for the same procedure, when your case qualifies.
What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$6,504 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$1,301 |
| Out-of-network provider | $14,309+ |

Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.
Why is a hip replacement so much cheaper at some Maine hospitals?
Prices vary up to 153.9× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Maine, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,447 versus a median negotiated rate of $1,220 - about 2× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a hip replacement in Maine?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

What matters before you schedule
What's on your bill
A hip replacement involves multiple providers who bill separately - typically Drg Facility Stay, Orthopedic Surgeon Professional Fee, Anesthesia. Check each line item against your Explanation of Benefits to catch billing errors.
Cost by type
Which type your doctor orders for this hip replacement changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe.
This is shoppable
Hip Replacement is elective and schedulable, so you have time to compare facilities before booking - hospital outpatient prices often run 2-4x higher than alternative settings for the identical clinical outcome.
What to ask before you book
Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for hip replacement before you schedule.
CostKits compiles hospital price transparency data to help families make informed decisions. Track and manage your healthcare costs (free account).
