Tennessee hospitals price muscle, bone & joint symptoms (Medicare DRG 555) anywhere from $4,555 to $79,444 — a $74,890 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Unity Medical Center in Manchester; the most expensive is Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Lawrenceburg in Lawrenceburg. The state average sits at $39,290.
Gross charges are the hospital's list price for the facility part of your stay — the room, operating-room time, nursing, and equipment. 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 muscle, bone & joint symptoms at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
If you're scheduling muscle, bone & joint symptoms in Tennessee, 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. Tennessee hospitals missing from the list either don't perform muscle, bone & joint symptoms in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 555 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.
