Compare hospitals → What is knee surgery for infection?
An operation to treat an infected knee joint, often by washing out the joint or removing infected tissue. The stay includes the surgery and IV antibiotics.
Knee Surgery for Infection is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 486 (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.
