Compare hospitals → What is shoulder & arm joint replacement?
Surgery to replace a major joint in the shoulder, elbow, or wrist — most often a total shoulder replacement — or to reattach part of an arm. The hospital stay covers the operation, pain control, and early physical therapy.
Shoulder & Arm Joint Replacement is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 483, 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.
