11 Connecticut hospitals publish gross charges for limb amputation (DRG 475). Prices range from $45,722 to $116,379 — roughly $70,657 apart. The cheapest is Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington; the most expensive is Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport. The state average sits at $86,995.

The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of limb amputation. 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 limb amputation at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

If you're scheduling limb amputation in Connecticut, 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.

7 of the 11 ranked hospitals are teaching hospitals — academic medical centers that train medical residents. They tend to take higher-acuity patients than community hospitals, which often pushes both their CMS star ratings down and their gross charges up. For complex or rare presentations a teaching hospital may genuinely be the better clinical choice even at the higher price. For a routine case, a high-rated community hospital can deliver equivalent outcomes for less.
