13 Kentucky hospitals list a gross charge for other bone, joint & muscle surgery under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $28,020 to $154,025. The cheapest is Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown; the most expensive is Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital (Acute Care) in Somerset. The state average sits at $49,986.
What's listed is each hospital's gross charge — its published price for the inpatient stay, before any insurance discount. 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 other bone, joint & muscle surgery at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
If you're scheduling other bone, joint & muscle surgery in Kentucky, 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. Kentucky hospitals missing from the list either don't perform other bone, joint & muscle surgery in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 516 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.
