Knee Replacement Surgery Cost by City in Colorado
Knee Replacement Surgery Cost in Other States
What Affects TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY Cost in Colorado
The cost of total knee arthroplasty in Colorado depends on several factors, including the type of facility, whether you have insurance, and local market dynamics.
The total cost of total knee 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 52 hospitals in Colorado, total knee arthroplasty prices range from $2,585 to $48,218 — a 18.7x difference. This wide variation underscores why comparing prices before scheduling is critical for controlling your out-of-pocket costs.
Hospital vs. Outpatient Center Pricing in Colorado
The setting where total knee arthroplasty is performed in Colorado 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 vs. Insurance Cost Differences in Colorado
Self-pay patients in Colorado often have access to significantly discounted rates for total knee arthroplasty. Under federal price transparency rules (45 CFR § 180.50), hospitals must publish their discounted cash prices alongside standard charges.
In Colorado, the average cash price for total knee arthroplasty is $15,465, which is 29% lower than the average list price of $21,740. 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.
