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 27130 — Total 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.

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 Connecticut
Connecticut's healthcare costs run approximately 14% above national averages, driven by high provider concentrations in wealthy southwestern counties and major academic medical centers. The state's small geographic footprint creates unique cost dynamics where patients can easily access premium specialty care but face limited competition in rural areas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Connecticut's Hip Replacement Surgery specialists cluster heavily around New Haven, Hartford, and Fairfield County, creating access challenges for residents in eastern and northwestern regions. Rural patients often travel to major medical centers, where facility fees and surgeon charges typically exceed community hospital rates by 20-40%.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based orthopedic practices in Connecticut, particularly those affiliated with Yale New Haven Health or Trinity Health, generally charge higher facility fees than independent surgery centers. Academic medical centers command premium rates due to their teaching mission and advanced technology, though they often provide access to cutting-edge procedures and subspecialty expertise.
Insurance Market Competition in Connecticut
Connecticut's moderate insurance market concentration allows reasonable competition between Anthem, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, though negotiated rates vary significantly by insurer. The state's small size means most major insurers maintain adequate provider networks, creating competitive pressure that helps moderate rate increases compared to more concentrated markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Connecticut
With 408 active Hip Replacement Surgery providers serving Connecticut's 3.6 million residents, the state maintains good specialist availability relative to national averages. This adequate supply helps moderate pricing pressure in most regions, though wait times for elective procedures can extend during peak seasons when patients delay surgery for vacation or work schedules.
