Greenville, SC Hip Replacement prices by facility

All prices below come from hospital chargemasters — the official price lists each hospital must publish under federal law. Gross charge is the undiscounted list price; cash price is the self-pay rate; negotiated range covers the spread across insurance contracts.

How we calculate "Your Price" — We prioritize the most actionable price in this order:
  1. Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
  2. Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
  3. Gross charge — fallback only; this is the inflated list price few people pay

This reflects the real prices patients encounter — not inflated chargemaster rates.

How to choose a lower-cost facility

  • Choose independent outpatient centers when possible — freestanding ASCs (ambulatory surgical centers) consistently charge less than hospital outpatient departments for identical procedures.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met — self-pay rates are often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied, especially at facilities that have a high cash-price discount.
  • Avoid hospital outpatient departments for routine cases — hospital-owned locations add a facility fee that freestanding centers don't charge, often adding $500–$1,500 to the same procedure.
Important: Many procedures are done at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) that are often 30–60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments with the same clinical quality. Most ASCs are not in this hospital dataset — meaning your cheapest option may not even appear here. Ask your doctor if the procedure can be done at a freestanding ASC.

Why prices vary this much

A small number of hospitals (1) report very high prices above $11,453, which drives much of the overall price range. Excluding these, most facilities cluster in a significantly tighter band.

Of the Greenville, SC facilities reporting prices, 5 fall in a low-cost tier (up to $11,338) while 2 sit in a high-cost tier ($11,384 and up) — a lower-priced option almost always exists within the same state.

Among the cities with the most reporting hospitals, Greer has a median reported price of $11,790 across 2 facilities, while facilities in Greenville tend to report lower prices (median: $11,384). City-level variation within a state often reflects local market structure, not procedure complexity.

The spread comes from how each hospital sets its chargemaster (the undiscounted list price), what cash discounts it applies, and what rates it negotiates with each insurer. Facility classification matters too — a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. Understanding these mechanics is the first step to paying less.

How insurance changes what you actually pay

Hospital list prices are only part of the picture. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility is in-network, and whether your plan classifies the visit as outpatient or inpatient. A lower gross charge doesn't guarantee a lower bill if the facility is out-of-network or adds facility fees your plan doesn't cover.

What's Actually on Your Hip Replacement Bill

A hip replacement involves multiple providers — each bills separately. Understanding each line item helps you verify your Explanation of Benefits and catch billing errors.

Hospital Inpatient

  • Drg Facility Stay — DRG 470 (major joint replacement without MCC) is most common.
  • Orthopedic Surgeon Professional Fee
  • Anesthesia
  • Implant Device Cost — Hip implant adds $5,000–$15,000+ depending on manufacturer and implant type. Often the largest single cost variable.
  • Physical Therapy Inpatient — Embedded in DRG — not a separate charge during the hospital stay.

Hip Replacement Cost by Type

Which type your doctor orders changes the billing code — and what you pay. Here's how the common types differ.

Total Hip Replacement

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. Most common. Replaces both ball and socket.

Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. Used primarily for femoral neck fractures. Replaces only the ball.

Hip Revision Surgery

A recognized variation that can change the billing code and what you owe. Replacement of a failed implant. Significantly more complex and expensive.

This Procedure Is Shoppable — Choosing the Right Facility Can Save Thousands

Hip Replacement is elective and schedulable. You have time to compare facilities — and hospital outpatient prices often run 2–4× higher than alternative settings for identical clinical outcomes.

How to shop: Ask your doctor for the CPT code, then call 2–3 facilities and request an out-of-pocket cost estimate. Confirm your insurance is accepted. If uninsured, ask for the cash-pay rate — it's usually 20–50% below the list price.

Prior Authorization Is Usually Required

Most commercial and Medicare Advantage plans require pre-approval for hip replacement before scheduling. If your doctor submits the order without prior authorization — or if the authorization lapses — your insurer can deny the entire claim, leaving you responsible for the full cost.

Action step: Call the member services number on your insurance card before scheduling. Ask: "Does this procedure require prior authorization?" Get the authorization number in writing and confirm it's attached to the claim before your appointment.

The Implant Is the Largest Cost Driver

For hip replacement, the implant or device typically accounts for 40–70% of the total hospital bill. Surgeons have preferred device relationships that affect which implant is used — and different implants can vary by $5,000–$15,000 in cost.

What to ask: Request an itemized estimate that breaks out the implant separately. Ask your surgeon whether a comparable implant is available at a lower cost.

Who performs this: Hip Replacement is typically performed by a Orthopedic Surgery. The specialist's professional fee is billed separately from the facility charge — you will likely receive separate bills from each.
