14 Massachusetts hospitals publish gross charges for bone & muscle surgery (DRG 517). Prices range from $29,012 to $71,776 — roughly $42,764 apart. The cheapest is Lowell General Hospital in Lowell; the most expensive is Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain. The state average sits at $45,692.
The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of bone & muscle surgery. 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 & 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 bone & muscle surgery in Massachusetts, 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. Massachusetts hospitals missing from the list either don't perform bone & muscle surgery in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 517 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.
