Compare hospitals → What is knee surgery?
An operation on the knee other than a total joint replacement, such as repairing or cleaning out damaged tissue, in a patient without a joint infection. The stay includes the surgery and early recovery.
Knee Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 489 (without 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.
