If you are someone who started looking into more serious hip treatment options for hip pain, due to arthritis, a fracture, or other conditions, this article will help you to understand the benefits of hip surgery with direct specialty care. At Smith Medical we have worked with our surgeons to design the quality of care that patients want to see more of.
What Does Hip Surgery Cost?
It depends on the type of hip surgery a patient is looking for, the length of stay in the hospital, insurance coverage, and post-surgical needs and requirements.
A lot of patients looking for hip surgery are unhappy with the fact that they have a complicated and expensive route to repairing their body and ending hip pain.
Whether they are looking for a hip replacement surgery or hip injections, the cost towards any hip procedure seems to only be rising.
If fact, the average cost of a hip surgery is $39,880 costing patients more and more money each year.
How Coverage Works With Smith

We provide transparency to ensure all our patients are aware of the costs upfront. All fees are combined in package pricing, so our patients have clarity regarding rates.
Instead of struggling to learn about the costs with employer or self provided insurance information, or struggling with high deductibles, we want to make sure all types of patients no matter what kind of coverage they have, can obtain the hip surgery that they need.
We do that by exclusively offering a self-pay care model, where our pricing is upfront for each surgery regardless of the coverage you may or may not have.

Types of Hip Procedures
Fluoroscopic Hip Injection with Anesthesia ($3,040): a procedure to offer relief to patients with debilitating arthritis of the hip. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a fluoroscope, an instrument with a screen for viewing X-ray images in real-time, to view the hip joint during the injections.
Bone Marrow Biopsy ($6,330): a surgical procedure to evaluate the health and composition of bone marrow. This procedure is often performed to detect blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and anemia.
Hip Arthroplasty (Replacement) ($17,579): a surgical procedure when a patient’s hip joint is severely worn or damaged. During this procedure, the surgeon will replace the hip joint with an artificial one. This procedure is often referred to as hip replacement.
Bilateral Hip Decompression ($16,275): a surgical procedure used to treat hip conditions such as osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis. The goal of this procedure is to remove pressure from the hip joint, ultimately reducing a patient’s pain levels.
