How much does a Knee Replacement cost in Texas?

A Knee Replacement in Texas typically costs several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on facility type and insurance. Costs are lowest at independent outpatient imaging centers and highest at hospital outpatient departments.

What affects the cost of a Knee Replacement in Texas?

The main cost drivers are: facility type (hospital vs. freestanding imaging center), your insurance network tier (in-network vs. out-of-network), your remaining deductible, and your coinsurance percentage. In Texas, choosing a freestanding imaging center over a hospital outpatient department typically saves 40–60% on the same procedure.

How can I find out what I will actually pay for a Knee Replacement?

You have a legal right to request a Good Faith Estimate from any facility before scheduling (No Surprises Act, 2022). You can also use a cost estimator that accounts for your specific deductible, coinsurance, and insurance plan to calculate your likely out-of-pocket amount.

Does insurance cover a Knee Replacement in Texas?

Most commercial insurance plans cover a Knee Replacement when medically necessary, subject to your deductible and coinsurance. If your deductible is not yet met, you will pay the contracted rate directly until it is. After meeting your deductible, your coinsurance (typically 10–30%) applies until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum.

What does a knee replacement cost in Texas?

You could pay $2,285 or $4,811 for the same knee replacement in Texas — depending entirely on which facility you choose. The median cash price across 199 reporting hospitals is $2,939. This data comes directly from hospital price transparency files published under federal law.

How prices are distributed across Texas hospitals:

Bottom 25% of hospitals: under $2,177
Median: $2,939
Above median (top 30%): $4,811+

That's a 2× spread for the same procedure — driven entirely by which facility you choose, not by clinical complexity.

Example — two patients in Houston:

Patient A (high-cost facility): ~$4,811
Patient B (lower-cost facility): ~$2,285

Same procedure. Same week. $2,526 difference.

Worth knowing: A small number of hospitals report very high prices above $13,600, which pulls the overall range wider than what most patients encounter. The typical range above is a better guide for planning.

Every hospital in this dataset offers a cash price — with a median of $3,326. If your deductible hasn't been met, always ask for the self-pay rate before scheduling.

What you'll actually pay — example scenarios

Your situation	Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met (pay in full)	~$2,939
Deductible met — 20% coinsurance	~$588
Out-of-network provider	$6,466+

Based on the state median of $2,939. Your actual cost depends on your plan deductible, coinsurance rate, and network tier. Get YOUR personalized estimate →

What this means for you

If you haven't met your deductible, you are effectively a cash-pay patient.

That means:

You should shop prices directly — the same way you'd compare any major purchase
Insurance may not get you a better deal than the cash price
The cheapest facility can save you $2,743+ vs. the median.

This is the single biggest lever most patients have to reduce their cost.

Lower-cost options in Texas start around $2,177 or below. Most hospitals cluster between $2,177 and $6,746. A smaller group reports prices above that — often academic medical centers or high-cost markets.

If you're comparing specific hospitals, the lowest self-pay rates reported in this dataset include: USMD Hospital at Arlington in Arlington (cash price from $2,029); Columbus Community Hospital (TX) in Columbus (cash price from $2,032); CHI St. Joseph Health Madison Hospital in Madisonville (cash price from $2,045). These are declared cash prices — contact each facility for a formal quote before scheduling.

Texas Knee 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:

Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
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.

These facilities report the highest prices for this procedure. Academic medical centers and specialty hospitals often top this list — their gross charges rarely reflect what anyone actually pays, but understanding the spread helps you negotiate.

Why prices vary this much

A small number of hospitals (14) report very high prices above $13,600, which drives much of the overall price range. Excluding these, most facilities cluster in a significantly tighter band.

Among the cities with the most reporting hospitals, Houston has a median reported price of $12,897 across 17 facilities, while facilities in The Woodlands tend to report lower prices (median: $2,293). 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.
