Orthopedic Aftercare Cost in Mississippi — Compare All Hospitals

6 Mississippi hospitals publish gross charges for orthopedic aftercare (DRG 559). Prices range from $12,320 to $134,434 — roughly 11×. The cheapest is Yalobusha General Hospital & Nursing Home in Water Valley; the most expensive is Ochsner Medical Center - Hancock in Bay Saint Louis. The state average sits at $52,876.

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

If you're scheduling orthopedic aftercare in Mississippi, 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. Mississippi hospitals missing from the list either don't perform orthopedic aftercare in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 559 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.
