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.

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 Michigan
Michigan's healthcare costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's balanced mix of urban medical centers and rural communities. The state's diverse geography creates distinct cost patterns, with Detroit and Grand Rapids commanding higher rates while smaller communities offer more affordable options.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern regions have limited Hip Replacement Surgery specialists, often requiring patients to travel to Traverse City, Grand Rapids, or Detroit for care. This geographic concentration drives up costs in urban areas while creating access challenges for rural residents. The state's major population centers like Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor have multiple competing orthopedic practices, which helps moderate pricing.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned orthopedic clinics in Michigan, particularly those affiliated with major health systems like Beaumont, Henry Ford, and University of Michigan Health, typically charge higher facility fees than independent surgical practices. These academic and large health system providers often have higher overhead costs but may offer more comprehensive services and subspecialty expertise. Independent orthopedic groups in Michigan frequently offer more competitive pricing for routine consultations and procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Michigan
BCBS Michigan, UHC, and Aetna compete actively in the state's commercial insurance market, creating competitive negotiated rates with Hip Replacement Surgery providers. The state's moderate insurance competition helps keep costs reasonable compared to markets dominated by single insurers. Michigan's strong union presence has also historically negotiated favorable health benefits, influencing the broader insurance marketplace.
Physician Supply and Demand in Michigan
With over 2,000 active Hip Replacement Surgery providers, Michigan has a relatively robust supply of orthopedic specialists concentrated primarily in the southern Lower Peninsula. This adequate supply helps prevent the extreme pricing seen in specialist-shortage states, though wait times for elective procedures can still extend several weeks during peak demand periods. The presence of multiple medical schools including University of Michigan and Michigan State helps maintain a steady pipeline of orthopedic specialists.
