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 New Mexico
Hip Replacement Surgery costs in New Mexico run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural provider distribution. The state's unique geography creates distinct cost corridors, with the Rio Grande valley offering the most competitive pricing due to provider concentration.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Albuquerque and Santa Fe contain most of New Mexico's orthopedic specialists, creating higher costs in these metro areas but more surgical options and shorter wait times. Rural counties often lack local orthopedic surgeons, forcing patients to travel to regional centers while sometimes accessing lower facility fees at critical access hospitals.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based orthopedic clinics at Presbyterian Healthcare Services and Christus Health charge higher facility fees than independent surgery centers, though they offer more comprehensive services for complex cases. Ambulatory surgery centers in New Mexico typically provide Hip Replacement Surgery at 20-40% lower costs than hospital outpatient departments.
Insurance Market Competition in New Mexico
The dominance of BCBS NM, UHC, and Molina creates moderate competition but limited negotiating pressure on orthopedic practices, particularly in rural areas with few providers. New Mexico's small population and geographic challenges prevent the intense price competition seen in larger metropolitan markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Mexico
New Mexico's 1,197 Hip Replacement Surgery providers create adequate coverage for urban areas but leave rural gaps, particularly in the northwestern and southeastern regions. This uneven distribution allows orthopedic surgeons in underserved areas to command higher fees while creating longer wait times for non-emergency procedures.
