What is other bone, joint & muscle surgery?

An operation on bones, joints, muscles, or connective tissue that does not fit a more specific surgical category. The stay includes the procedure, pain management, and early rehabilitation.

Other Bone, Joint & Muscle Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 516 (with complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
