Does Medicare cover Hip replacement?

Yes — Medicare generally covers Hip replacement. It is typically an inpatient service, so Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) pays the hospital a bundled rate — Medicare’s benchmark payment is about $1,162. Your own cost is mainly the Part A hospital deductible for the benefit period (a flat amount, not a percentage), plus any physician (Part B) charges. A Medicare Advantage or Medigap plan can change what you owe.

General guidance from Medicare’s national rates — your actual coverage and share depend on medical necessity, your plan, and where the service is performed. Confirm with Medicare or your plan.

About these prices

Based on prices published by 1556 US hospitals across 52 states, the typical (median) cash price is $9,162, versus a chargemaster (list) price around $15,889, a median insurer-negotiated rate of $12,782, a Medicare rate of about $1,162. Most cash prices fall between $2,235 and $38,861 — a wide spread, which is exactly why comparing hospitals pays off.

How to save

  • Ask each hospital for its cash / self-pay price — for shoppable services it is often far below the list price.
  • Compare several nearby hospitals; prices for the same service can differ severalfold.
  • Request a written estimate and the billing code (CPT/DRG) before scheduling.
  • Use the Medicare benchmark above to judge whether a quote is reasonable.
  • If you are uninsured, ask about financial assistance or prompt-pay discounts.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Hip replacement cost without insurance?
The median cash (self-pay) price across 1556 US hospitals is $9,162. Most hospitals fall between $2,235 and $38,861. Prices vary widely between hospitals, so it pays to compare before you book.
Does Medicare cover Hip replacement?
Yes — it is generally covered under Medicare Part A as an inpatient service (Medicare's benchmark payment is about $1,162). You pay the Part A hospital deductible for the benefit period, plus any Part B physician charges.
What does Medicare pay for Hip replacement?
Medicare pays about $1,162. We show this as a benchmark — a fair cash price is often within a few multiples of the Medicare rate.
Why do Hip replacement prices vary between hospitals?
Hospitals set their own chargemaster and cash prices and negotiate different rates with each insurer, so two hospitals in the same area can charge very differently for the same service.
Is the cash price lower than using insurance?
Sometimes. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, the cash/self-pay price can be lower than the insurer-negotiated rate — ask the hospital for both.
