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.
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 Hawaii
Healthcare costs in Hawaii run approximately 16% above the national average, driven by the state's remote location, high cost of living, and the expense of importing medical equipment and supplies. The island geography creates natural monopolies where patients have limited alternatives, particularly on the neighbor islands.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oahu concentrates most of Hawaii's orthopedic specialists, with over 70% of Hip Replacement Surgery providers practicing in the Honolulu metro area. Patients on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island often must travel to Oahu for complex procedures, adding travel and lodging costs to their medical expenses. This geographic disparity allows urban providers to command premium pricing while rural patients face limited options.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned practices dominate Hawaii's orthopedic landscape, with major health systems like Kaiser Permanente, Queens Health Systems, and Hawaii Pacific Health controlling most specialty care. These hospital-affiliated clinics typically charge higher facility fees to cover overhead costs including expensive medical equipment and island-specific operating expenses. Independent orthopedic practices offer an alternative but are becoming increasingly rare due to Hawaii's challenging business environment.
Insurance Market Competition in Hawaii
Hawaii's insurance market is relatively concentrated, with HMSA Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Kaiser Permanente controlling the majority of covered lives. This limited competition can result in higher negotiated rates for specialty services, though Kaiser's integrated model sometimes offers lower costs for members. The state's small population and geographic isolation make it difficult for new insurers to enter the market and provide pricing pressure.
Physician Supply and Demand in Hawaii
With 50 active Hip Replacement Surgery providers serving a population of 1.4 million residents, Hawaii maintains adequate specialist density in urban areas but faces shortages on neighbor islands. The high cost of living and professional isolation can make it challenging to recruit orthopedic surgeons, particularly to rural areas. This supply constraint allows established providers to maintain higher pricing while patients may face longer wait times for non-urgent procedures.
