Inpatient hip replacement surgeries per 100,000 persons and estimated cost per inpatient total hip replacement by insurance type, U.S. dollars, 2022
Note: Utilization data includes total and partial hip replacements, as well as revisions of prior replacements. U.S. utilization data is from AHRQ HCUP. OECD utilization data was unavailable for Japan; data for Australia includes inpatient, outpatient, and day cases; data from the Netherlands is from 2021; data for the United Kingdom is estimated. The U.S. public cost estimate is for traditional Medicare. Cost estimates represent the total cost of a hospitalization for a unilateral total hip replacement without complications. Data used to determine Medicare prices in the U.S. exclude physician fees, which likely understate the difference in prices between the U.S. and peer nations.
