Before you book: three questions that change the price
- Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
- Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
- What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take
- St Josephs Hospital - Savannah is the lowest-cost option at $1,847 - $1,720 below the median posted price ($3,567), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $3,567, 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.

Piedmont Healthcare and Northside Hospital dominate the Atlanta market, while Wellstar Health System and Navicent Health cover much of metro and middle Georgia. Rural Georgia has a high density of critical access hospitals - roughly 50 - where Medicare reimburses on a cost basis rather than the standard prospective payment system, creating different pricing structures than urban PPS hospitals.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (7) report prices above $13,634, including St. Mary's Health Care System at $33,122, 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 $3,567 versus $7,212 inpatient (about 2× more), 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.
None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$3,567 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$713 |
| Out-of-network provider | $7,847+ |
Frequently asked questions: rotator cuff surgery costs in Georgia
How much does a rotator cuff surgery cost in Georgia?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $2,767, with most facilities between $2,108 and $5,730 (based on 57 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices start at $1,847, with a median of $3,567; outlier facilities are left out. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.
Where is the cheapest place to get a rotator cuff surgery in Georgia?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Georgia data is St Josephs Hospital - Savannah in Savannah at about $1,847. By metro, Savannah has the lowest median ($1,847). Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.
Why is a rotator cuff surgery so much cheaper at some Georgia hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 2.7× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Georgia, the median cash (self-pay) price is $3,567 versus a median negotiated rate of $2,767 - about 1.3× higher. Asking for the cash price as well as 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 rotator cuff surgery in Georgia?
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.
