Compare hospitals → What is shoulder, elbow & forearm surgery?
Surgery on the shoulder, elbow, or forearm other than a full joint replacement, such as repairing a fracture or a torn tendon, in patients who also have complicating conditions. The stay covers the operation, pain control, and early recovery.
Shoulder, Elbow & Forearm Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 511 (with complications), 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.
