Why do Total Knee Replacement prices vary so much in Scranton?

Prices for total knee replacement vary based on several factors: the type of facility (hospital outpatient centers typically charge more than freestanding centers), whether additional services like contrast dye or anesthesia are included, the complexity of your specific case, and negotiated insurance rates. Academic medical centers tend to charge more than community hospitals.

Does this price include all fees for total knee replacement?

It depends on the hospital. Some hospitals report bundled prices (facility + professional fees), while others report facility-only charges. Additional physician fees may apply. We flag when prices may not include all components.

How do I get the cash pay price?

Call the hospital's billing department and ask for their "self-pay" or "cash discount" rate. Reference the price shown here as a starting point. Many hospitals offer 30-60% discounts for upfront cash payment. You can also ask for a "Good Faith Estimate" which hospitals are required to provide under the No Surprises Act.

What should I ask my hospital before scheduling?

Ask: (1) Is this the total price, including all physician and facility fees? (2) Are there any additional charges I should expect? (3) What is your cash/self-pay rate vs. my insurance negotiated rate? (4) Can you provide a Good Faith Estimate in writing?

These prices are a starting point for your research, not a final quote. We recommend calling the hospital's billing department with your insurance information for a personalized estimate. Knowing the typical price range puts you in a stronger position to ask the right questions.

The same outpatient procedure can cost several times more at one hospital than another in the same metro, based on cash-discount prices across our dataset. In some cases the spread is 8x or wider, and at the top of the distribution the gap can be far more extreme. We track this across more than 1,100 procedure-and-metro combinations so you can see where the spread is widest before you book.
