Compare hospitals → What is shoulder & elbow replacement?
A planned operation to replace a damaged shoulder or elbow joint with an artificial one, usually because of severe arthritis or injury. The stay covers the surgery, pain control, and the start of physical therapy.
Shoulder & Elbow Replacement is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 322, 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.
