What These Prices Mean

Missing gross and cash figures
A gross charge is a hospital's full list price before any discount, and a cash price is the amount offered to a patient paying without insurance. On this page, 17 of 17 rows have a gross charge published as $0 or blank, and 0 of 17 rows have a published cash price. Because those fields are missing, no cash-to-gross percentage can be given for any hospital here, and the blanks are treated as missing data rather than real prices. Insured ranges are published for all 17 hospitals, for example $13,407.17 to $29,763.91 at AdventHealth Carrollwood and $975 to $46,469 at HCA Florida Largo Hospital. People on a high-deductible plan who have not yet met their deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate, which is the kind of figure the insured range reflects.

A single code across all rows
Every row on this page uses code 27447, Total Knee Replacement (Arthroplasty), so there are no differences between billing codes to compare. The price spread comes from the hospitals and the insurers, not from different procedure codes. The code describes the knee joint replacement itself, and the figures shown are facility charges for that code.

Why Knee Replacement Prices Vary

Ranges across the two systems
Gross charges and cash prices cannot be compared between hospitals because none are published for this code, and no discount policy percentages are available from the DATA. What differs is the insured range. The 5 AdventHealth hospitals show $13,407.17 to $29,763.91 at four of them and $13,407.17 to $31,092.56 at AdventHealth Zephyrhills. The 12 HCA Healthcare hospitals show ranges such as $1,638 to $46,469, $975 to $46,469 and $975 to $33,071. Several HCA Florida hospitals share the same upper figure of $46,469, while HCA Florida Northside Hospital, HCA Florida South Shore Hospital and HCA Florida West Tampa Hospital top out at $33,071.

Beyond hospitals and between plans
Outpatient surgery centers and other facilities outside this dataset may price the same surgery differently, and their figures do not appear here. The insurer data shows wide variation between plans. At HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital, 105 published rates for 27447 run from $975 for Suncoast Neighborly Care under MedicarePACE to $46,469 for United under AllPayerAppendix, and the highest is about 48x the lowest in that table.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Knee Replacement cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from N/A to N/A. The lowest insured rate in the price table is $975 (HCA Florida Largo Hospital). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These Knee Replacement Prices

Call each hospital with 27447 and ask for two things. Quote the code for total knee replacement (arthroplasty) and ask for the cash or self-pay price plus an itemized estimate. Ask what the quote includes and excludes, and whether the stay would be billed as inpatient or outpatient. A bundled package price that lists the surgeon, anesthesia and implant is easier to compare than a facility-only figure.

Use the insured range as the only yardstick. This page has no published cash price for any of the 17 hospitals, so there is no cash figure to measure a quote against. What it does show is the spread of insured rates for 27447: from $975 at HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital to $46,469 at HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital. You can compare a quote with that range, but a wide spread means the same hospital can list very different rates by insurer, so ask which rate your quote resembles.

Expect more than the hospital's bill. The facility charge is one part of the total. Ask whether these are billed separately, and by whom:

The surgeon's professional fee
The anesthesia provider
The implant or supplies, if not part of the facility charge
Follow-up care such as physical therapy

A blank is missing data, not a free knee replacement. All 17 rows show gross charge and cash price as $0 or blank. That means the hospital did not publish the figure in this data. It does not mean the price is zero, so a direct quote is the only way to get a real number.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Knee Replacement Costs

How much does a knee replacement cost without insurance in Tampa-St. Petersburg?

The DATA contains no published cash prices for a knee replacement in Tampa-St. Petersburg. All 17 hospitals, including AdventHealth Carrollwood, AdventHealth Tampa, HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital and HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital, list cash price as not published for code 27447, so no cash range can be given. These blanks are missing data and are not zero-dollar prices. Insured rates are available and range from $975 to $46,469 across the page. Any facility figure also excludes professional fees, since surgeon, anesthesia and other clinician services are billed separately from the hospital facility charge.

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

On this page the gross charge is not published for any of the 17 hospitals, and cash price is not published for any of them either. Because both fields are missing, there is no cash-to-gross percentage to report, and no hospital here publishes cash equal to gross (0 of 17). In general, a gross charge is a list price that few payers actually use, while a cash price is a discounted amount for patients paying without insurance. Here the gap cannot be described with numbers, because neither figure is available for code 27447.

Does insurance cover a knee replacement?

Whether insurance covers a knee replacement depends on the specific plan, so the plan itself is the source for coverage details. The published data shows insured rates at all 17 hospitals on this page. Ranges include $13,407.17 to $29,763.91 at AdventHealth Carrollwood and $975 to $46,469 at HCA Florida Largo Hospital. At HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital, 105 rates are published for code 27447. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you will usually pay the plan's negotiated rate until it is met.

Are there additional fees beyond the knee replacement facility charge?

Yes. The hospital facility charge is only one part of the total. Separate bills commonly come from the surgeon, the anesthesiologist or anesthesia group, and a radiology group for imaging. A pathology or laboratory provider may bill separately, and implant or device suppliers, physical therapy and follow-up visits can also generate their own charges. Post-acute services such as home health or a rehabilitation stay may also be billed apart from the hospital. These charges often come from different providers, so the facility prices on this page do not include them.

What is the cash price for a knee replacement at HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital?

No cash price is published for knee replacement (CPT 27447) at HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital. The gross charge is also missing, shown as $0 or blank, which means the data is missing, not that the procedure is free. The only figures available are insured rates, which cover the facility charge only, from $975 to $46,469.

What is the lowest and highest published price for a knee replacement in Tampa-St. Petersburg?

Among published insured rates for CPT 27447 in Tampa-St. Petersburg, the lowest is $975 at HCA Florida Pasadena Hospital and the highest is $46,469 at HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital. These are facility charges only. Cash prices are not published at any of the 17 hospitals on this page.

How much does Florida Blue pay for a knee replacement in Tampa?

Florida Blue's published rates for knee replacement (CPT 27447) range from $8,128 at HCA Florida South Shore Hospital to $13,809.38 at AdventHealth Zephyrhills, with a median of $12,915.46 across 25 hospitals. These are facility charges only and do not include surgeon or anesthesia fees.
