The price of joint replacement surgery in the U.S. can vary by tens of thousands of dollars depending on where it’s performed. A total knee replacement might cost just $12,870 at one hospital but soar to more than $101,000 at another. Similarly, ankle replacement surgery is billed at $22,011 in Austin, Texas, while a New Jersey facility charges nearly $200,000 for the same procedure. These staggering discrepancies leave many insured patients struggling with unexpected bills, loans, and mounting medical debt.
