Level 3 Musculoskeletal Procedures in other states
Questions
How much does level 3 musculoskeletal procedures cost in Texas? In 2024 Medicare data, level 3 musculoskeletal procedures (APC 5113) at 247 hospitals in Texas was billed at $29,887 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $2,828, of which Medicare paid $2,242. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments? Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this service in Texas, average charges were 10.6 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
Source: CMS, Medicare Outpatient Hospitals by Provider and Service, 2024. The allowed amount is Medicare's payment plus the patient's coinsurance. CMS omits hospitals with fewer than 11 services for privacy. About the data .
