What is the cheapest price for a knee replacement?

The price of a knee replacement depends on a variety of factors, but Healthcare Bluebook says that $22,000 to $23,000 is a fair comprehensive price for the knee replacement. That price includes hospital services for a 4-day admission, anesthesia and physician services.

The average cost of a total knee replacement is $49,500, according to Healthline. That average is much higher than the Healthcare Bluebook fair price. Healthline notes that the number of days a patient is in the hospital, any preexisting conditions and the surgical procedure used can all affect the price of the surgery. With the great variation in the price, anyone who needs a knee replacement should find out the projected cost prior to having the surgery.
