Questions

How much does major hip and knee joint replacement or reattachment of lower extremity without major complications cost in Nevada?

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.
