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 New Hampshire

Hip Replacement Surgery costs in New Hampshire run roughly 11% above national averages, driven by the state's concentrated healthcare market and limited provider competition. The Granite State's small population spread across both urban corridors and rural mountain regions creates unique cost dynamics for specialized orthopedic care.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Manchester, Nashua, and Portsmouth areas offer the highest concentration of Hip Replacement Surgery specialists, while rural northern and western counties have limited options. Patients in rural areas often travel to urban centers for specialized care, potentially increasing overall treatment costs. This geographic disparity affects both pricing and appointment availability across the state.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-owned orthopedic practices dominate New Hampshire's market, with major health systems like Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Catholic Medical Center operating multiple locations. These hospital-affiliated clinics typically charge facility fees that increase Hip Replacement Surgery visit costs compared to independent practices. Academic medical centers may have higher overhead costs reflected in their pricing structures.

Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire

Anthem holds significant market share in New Hampshire, with Harvard Pilgrim and Cigna providing additional options but less comprehensive provider networks. This concentrated insurance market gives major carriers substantial negotiating power with Hip Replacement Surgery specialists. Limited insurer competition can result in higher negotiated rates compared to states with more diverse insurance markets.

Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire

New Hampshire has fewer orthopedic surgeons per capita compared to neighboring Massachusetts, creating supply constraints that can influence Hip Replacement Surgery pricing. The state's aging population increases demand for joint replacement services while specialist recruitment remains challenging. This supply-demand imbalance contributes to longer wait times and potentially higher costs for specialized orthopedic care.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover Hip Replacement Surgery visits?

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

Community health centers throughout New Hampshire may offer sliding-scale fees for orthopedic referrals and basic musculoskeletal care.

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

Initial Hip Replacement Surgery consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic planning requirements.

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

Telemedicine consultations with Hip Replacement Surgery specialists typically cost less than in-person visits, though physical examination limitations may require follow-up office visits.
