21 North Carolina hospitals publish gross charges for bone & joint disease (DRG 554). Prices range from $5,843 to $48,412 — roughly $42,569 apart. The cheapest is Randolph Hospital in Asheboro; the most expensive is Wilson Medical Center in Wilson. The state average sits at $28,972.
The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of bone & joint disease. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists bone & joint disease at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
If you're scheduling bone & joint disease in North Carolina, sort the list below by price, then click each hospital name to see its quality profile — CMS overall star rating, surgical-safety measures, readmission rates, patient-experience scores. The cheapest hospital isn't always the right call. Teaching hospitals often charge more because they take complex cases, and a higher-rated community hospital may deliver equivalent outcomes for a straightforward case at a lower price. Use the price column to narrow the field; use the quality data to make the final call.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. North Carolina hospitals missing from the list either don't perform bone & joint disease in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 554 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
