Compare hospitals → What is knee surgery?
Knee surgery other than a full joint replacement, such as repairing cartilage or removing damaged tissue, when the problem is not a joint infection, in patients who also have complicating conditions. The stay covers the operation, pain control, and early recovery.
Knee Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 488 (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.
