17 Kentucky hospitals list a gross charge for limb & hip surgery for major trauma under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $71,228 to $249,877. The cheapest is Murray-Calloway County Hospital (Acute Care) in Murray; the most expensive is Spring View Hospital in Lebanon. The state average sits at $109,607.

What's listed is each hospital's gross charge — its published price for the inpatient stay, before any insurance discount. 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 & hip surgery for major trauma at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

If you're scheduling limb & hip surgery for major trauma in Kentucky, 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. Kentucky hospitals missing from the list either don't perform limb & hip surgery for major trauma in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 956 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.
