What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
If you're planning a total knee replacement in Fairfax, your cash price will likely land somewhere between $30,000 and $35,000 depending on which hospital you choose—a fairly tight range that means location and surgeon reputation matter more than shopping for a dramatic discount. The variation is only about 20 percent across the ten hospitals in your area, so you're not looking at the kind of price spread that would justify traveling elsewhere, but it's worth calling two or three places to confirm their exact quote for your specific situation.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at your top one or two hospitals and ask for their cash price for a total knee replacement—get it in writing if possible. Then ask your insurance company what your out-of-pocket cost would be after your deductible and coinsurance; that's usually your real number. If cost is tight, ask the hospital directly whether they have financial assistance programs you might qualify for based on your income.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Total Knee Replacement?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
