What is the Cost of Hip Replacement Surgery -Single ?
969419
Four years ago my HMO paid the hospital $11,000 for each of my hip replacements.  I saw the hospital bills and they were around $18,000 each, so that means that they agreed to accept the $11,000.  The surgeon's fee was not included in this amount but the prosthesis was.  I have no idea what the surgeon got.  Additional costs included one radiation treatment, home nursing, pre-op testing, blood donations, physical therapy, equipment rental, outpatient meds and about 5 office visits.\n\nMy guess is that the HMO paid about $20k for each hip.  My out-of-pocket was $200 for a private room and about $50 co-pays for equipment rental and drugs.

It will depend on the size and also where in the U.S. you live.  It could range anywhere from $60.00 - $300.00.

It's expensive, I know that. It's something like $323.68 without insurance. (Last figure I rememeber being told to me by my pshychiatrist in CO).

Depends on where you live and what hospital you go to.  Ask around.  As a starting point, you'll probably pay about $2500 for the operation itself (if it's laparoscopic i.e. they cut a little bitty hole and do the whole thing with the fancy equivalent of tweezers and a gooseneck flashlight, you may be able to recover at home instead of spending the night in the hospital.  Add $1000 if you spend an night.)  Add another $500 for xrays and anesthesiologist, who bill separately.  \n\nBut this is one of those "just do it" things.  You'll survive the bill, but who knows if you'll survive the appendicitis without an operation?  All the best wishes for a safe visit and quick recovery.

Well first off, Liposuction will not take off anywhere near 10-15 lbs. It'll probably only take off 3-4. What liposuction does is resculpt your body. And the prices vary depending on where you want it done. You said you want it around the middle. In the US, that'll run you anywhere between $3,000-$7,500.  You could go to other countries to get it done cheaper. I live in Tunisia and had a friend who had her whole abdomnen aqnd hips done for 1,500 Dinars ( $1,139.99 US Dollars). \n\nAlso, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or the fat will come back, and come back in a double quantity. \n\nGood luck with your decision.

I live in SC but the community health center will do it for like $50 if you are a low-income family. It's not free, but it sure does cost a lot less than the alternatives!

If 150% of the cost is $4500 then the actual single cost amount is $3000.

That really is a good question. I tried to find an answer, but it all seems very vague. While I did encounter many people with a situation like yours (one woman paid almost four times more to include her husband on her health plan), I had two thoughts:\n\n1.Maybe it’s not as widespread a problem as you might think. Even though the Wall Street Journal and New York Times have written about the rate tiers you’re speaking of, I found a study from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey that showed that the average yearly premium expense for employer-sponsored single coverage was $3,481 compared with $6,647 for plus-one coverage – less than double the single rate. \n\n2.Some group plans may be required to accept spouses without evidence of insurability – no medical review or tests. If that’s true, then there might be a risk-centered reason for the hefty increase in your premiums.\n\nYou might want to talk to the insurance company to see how they justify the increase. Also, you might want to shop around for insurance with local agents to see if the same price hike applies to other health plans near you. If you want to do that, check out MostChoice.com. It’s a site where you can compare and contrast locally available insurance policies and get in touch with state-licensed insurance agents. There’s no cost and you’re not obligated in any way to buy anything from the agents who contact you. Just have your questions ready and challenge them to find a better insurance solution for you and your wife.\n\nYou can visit MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nHope this helps,\n\nBarnes @ MostChoice.

You need to talk to an orthotist. My husband makes these things for a living so hes giving me the answer. You go to a physician they will measure you by having you stand while they check to see if your hips are even. They will give you a prescription to go to an orthotist for the shoes or inserts you need and a o&p technician like my hubbie will make them for you. Most insurance companies will carry the burden.

On the average, approximately $23.00 per hour.  A lot has to do with the area you are located in and if it is in a hospital setting.  I hope that this helps you!

Is there no way at all to come up with the money for the ceramic or metal hips?  You're only 33, and your plastic hips will need to be replaced not just once but probably twice.  I'm sorry to sound a negative note, I just wonder if you have a church community or equity in your house or any way to raise more funds.\n\nAnd as hard as it would be, you could even create a website, set up a Pay Pal account, and ask people to charge 10 cents on their credit cards and deposit to your account.  I feel bad suggesting this, actually, but it's an option.\n\nOK, on the bright side - the surgery itself WILL go fine!  My grandfather and mother both had it (guess I will one day too), and you'll not be in pain for at least the next several years!\n\nJust pay attention to your physical therapist and do the exercises you need to.  If you are overweight, take this as the start of your NEW NUTRITIONAL LIFE and make the changes you need to make - there's lots of support out there for that.\n\nGood luck!

the cost will likely vary from case to case, sometimes the clinic can give you an estimate of a general case, or a package, but your individual cost may change depending on the procedure, you could try the local phone directory for the clinic listings good luck

Because the 3 unit bridge is cheaper for them than the single implant.  Insurance companies want to spend as little money as possible.
