In 2024 Medicare data, level 5 musculoskeletal procedures (APC 5115) at 237 hospitals in Texas was billed at $98,406 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $11,614, of which Medicare paid $9,984. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
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 8.5 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
