Knee Replacement Cost in Chattanooga, TN

How much does a knee replacement cost without insurance in Chattanooga?

No cash price for a knee replacement is published at any of the 4 Chattanooga hospitals on this page, so a self-pay range cannot be given. CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga, CHI Memorial Hospital Hixson, Parkridge East Hospital and Parkridge Medical Center all show cash as not published, which is treated as missing data rather than a real price. Gross charges are also missing for all 4 rows. Without insurance, you would need to ask each hospital for a written estimate. Surgeon, anesthesia and other professional fees are billed separately from the facility charge and are not included in these figures.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

On this page the comparison cannot be made, because the gross charge is missing for all 4 rows and no cash price is published for any of them. A cash-to-gross percentage is therefore not available for CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga, CHI Memorial Hospital Hixson, Parkridge East Hospital or Parkridge Medical Center. In general, a gross charge is a list price that few people pay in full, while cash and insured prices are set through discounts or contracts. Since both the gross and cash figures are missing here, only the insured ranges can be used for reference.

Does insurance cover a knee replacement?

Whether a knee replacement is covered depends on your specific plan, so the plan itself or your insurer is the place to confirm that. What the files show is the negotiated facility rate. At CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga and CHI Memorial Hospital Hixson the insured range is $167 to $21,668.58. At Parkridge East Hospital and Parkridge Medical Center it is $1,150 to $37,269. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge.

Are there additional fees beyond the knee replacement facility charge?

Yes. The facility charge covers the hospital's costs, but other bills commonly come separately. These typically include the surgeon's professional fee, the anesthesiologist's fee, and charges from a pathologist or radiologist if their services are used. Separate bills may also arrive for implant or device vendors in some arrangements, physical therapy, follow-up visits, prescription medications and durable medical equipment such as a walker or brace. Pre-operative lab work and imaging may also be billed on their own. Ask each provider for an itemized estimate.
