Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.

The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 27130Total hip arthroplasty). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.

Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.

This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 27130 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 27130 (Total hip arthroplasty), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 27130 covers: the provider's professional fee for hip replacement. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

How to read this data

Negotiated Rate

The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.

P5, Median, P95

P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.

What this does not tell you

These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.

Why Hip Replacement Surgery Visit Costs Vary Across Arizona

Arizona's Hip Replacement Surgery costs run approximately 5% above national averages, reflecting the state's growing population and competitive ambulatory surgery center market. The concentration of retirees in cities like Scottsdale and Tucson creates high demand for joint replacement services, while rural areas face provider shortages that can drive up costs.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

The Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas contain the majority of Arizona's Hip Replacement Surgery specialists, while rural counties often require patients to travel significant distances for care. This geographic disparity creates cost variations, with urban centers offering more competitive pricing due to provider density, while rural areas may charge premium rates due to limited access.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Arizona's robust ambulatory surgery center network, led by systems like Banner Health and Dignity Health, offers cost advantages over traditional hospital-based procedures. Independent surgery centers throughout the Phoenix area often provide Hip Replacement Surgery at 20-30% lower costs than hospital outpatient departments, though patients must verify their insurance coverage at these facilities.

Insurance Market Competition in Arizona

The competitive dynamic between UHC, BCBS Arizona, and Aetna has created varied negotiated rates for Hip Replacement Surgery across different provider networks. Arizona's lack of a state-mandated all-payer claims database means pricing transparency varies significantly, with some insurers offering better rates at specific health systems or surgery centers.

Physician Supply and Demand in Arizona

With over 5,350 active Hip Replacement Surgery providers, Arizona maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution affects pricing and wait times, with Phoenix and Tucson offering competitive rates and shorter scheduling delays, while smaller cities may have limited options and higher costs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hip Replacement Surgery Costs in Arizona

What is the average cost of a Hip Replacement Surgery visit in Arizona without insurance?

Hip Replacement Surgery procedures in Arizona typically range from $1,097 to $2,279 based on negotiated insurance rates, though uninsured patients may face higher list prices. Many facilities offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% off standard rates, and patients should always request self-pay pricing before scheduling procedures.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover Hip Replacement Surgery visits?

Yes, Arizona's expanded Medicaid program (AHCCCS) covers medically necessary Hip Replacement Surgery procedures when performed by contracted providers. Patients must obtain prior authorization and may need to use specific AHCCCS-contracted surgeons and facilities, but coverage is generally comprehensive for qualifying procedures.

How do I find an affordable Hip Replacement Surgery near me in Arizona?

Compare costs between ambulatory surgery centers and hospital outpatient departments, as surgery centers often charge 20-30% less for similar procedures. Ask about cash-pay discounts, explore community health center referral programs, and consider traveling within Arizona to areas with more competitive pricing like Phoenix or Tucson.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Initial Hip Replacement Surgery consultations typically cost significantly more than follow-up visits, as they involve comprehensive evaluation, imaging review, and treatment planning. Follow-up appointments for post-surgical care or monitoring generally cost 30-50% less than new patient consultations, though costs vary by provider and insurance coverage.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Hip Replacement Surgery visit in Arizona?

Yes, Hip Replacement Surgery consultations and procedures qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Patients can use these pre-tax funds for deductibles, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs associated with medically necessary hip replacement care.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Hip Replacement Surgery in Arizona?

While initial Hip Replacement Surgery evaluations require in-person examination and imaging, telemedicine can reduce costs for follow-up appointments and post-operative care in Arizona. Many insurers cover virtual visits at the same rate as office visits, and patients in rural Arizona particularly benefit from telehealth options that eliminate travel costs to urban specialists.
