  • Hip Replacement ?
    23
    $31,680
    $32,322.44
    Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which the hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. Most commonly the head of the femur — the bone in the thigh — is removed and replaced with an artificial one, usually made from titanium. The hip socket is also replaced with an artificial cup, generally made of special plastics. These surgeries are complicated and lengthy and typically require a two-to three-day hospital stay.
  • Hysterectomy ?
    13
    $14,348
    $20,515.46
    A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and in some cases, the ovaries as well. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed to treat uterine fibroids — noncancerous tumors that grow in the muscles of the uterus. A hysterectomy is performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires extra monitoring or recovery time.
  • Knee Replacement ?
    54
    $31,437
    $32,594.14
    Knee replacement surgery is a procedure to replace knee joints with artificial implants. The bottom portion of the femur — the bone in the thigh — and the top portion of the tibia — the bone in the lower leg — are replaced with metal implants. These surgeries require large incisions and are complicated and lengthy, typically requiring a two - to three - day hospital stay.

    40
    $320
    $647.40

It is most commonly performed on the shoulder to diagnose fine damage to the rotator cuff muscles, but is also done on the hip, knee, ankle and elbow. After the injection, x-ray, MRI or CT images are collected. Arthrography is separated from other imaging because the injection procedure is performed in the operating room.

  • Knee Arthroscopy ?
    62
    $11,729
    $7,089.00

  • Nerve Block ?
    11
    $211
    $1,385.53
    A nerve block is a procedure to inject a drug into a certain nerve or group of nerves to treat pain. The drug acts to desensitize the nerve and "turn off" pain signals temporarily. Because such injections are often quite deep inside the body, additional imaging equipment is often used for accurate needle placement.

    18
    $27,150
    $11,608.57
    Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure to fix damaged ligaments, tendons and muscles in the shoulder joint.

• Heart Attack

  Show/Hide Overview
  A heart attack (also called AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These measures show some of the process of care provided, if appropriate for most adults who have had a heart attack. The outpatient Heart Attack or Chest Pain measures apply to patients transferred to an acute care facility for a higher level of care. For more information, click on the column headings.
