Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in Oklahoma

The cost of total hip arthroplasty in Oklahoma depends on several factors, including the type of facility, whether you have insurance, and local market dynamics.

The total cost of total hip arthroplasty includes more than the surgeon's fee. Facility charges, anesthesia, pre-operative testing, and post-operative care all contribute. Ambulatory surgery centers, where medically appropriate, can offer significant savings compared to hospital settings.

Based on data from 33 hospitals in Oklahoma, total hip arthroplasty prices range from $125 to $77,010 — a 616.1x difference. This wide variation underscores why comparing prices before scheduling is critical for controlling your out-of-pocket costs.

The setting where total hip arthroplasty is performed in Oklahoma significantly impacts total cost. Hospital inpatient stays are the most expensive, followed by hospital outpatient departments, then ambulatory surgery centers.

For patients who are medically appropriate for outpatient surgery, ASCs offer a compelling combination of lower cost and shorter wait times. Many are physician-owned and focus exclusively on surgical care.

Discuss options with your surgeon and, if you're self-pay, ask about pricing at each available setting before scheduling.

Self-pay patients in Oklahoma often have access to significantly discounted rates for total hip arthroplasty. Under federal price transparency rules (45 CFR § 180.50), hospitals must publish their discounted cash prices alongside standard charges.

In Oklahoma, the average cash price for total hip arthroplasty is $10,725, which is 67% lower than the average list price of $32,862. This discount is typical of what self-pay patients can expect when asking for the hospital's uninsured rate.

For insured patients, the negotiated rate between your plan and the hospital determines your cost share. If you haven't met your deductible, you may pay more than the cash price. It's worth asking the hospital whether their self-pay rate is lower than what your insurance would charge — some patients save money by not filing a claim.
