Hip Replacement Surgery in Massachusetts: What to Know
Massachusetts offers excellent hip replacement options, with top-ranked facilities like Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital recognized for excellence. Mass General's Hip & Knee Replacement Service boasts a low readmission rate of 1.9%, similar to the national average. Several hospitals, including Mass General and Southcoast Health, utilize robot-assisted surgery, potentially leading to smaller incisions and faster recovery.
To potentially reduce costs, consider ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Massachusetts has fewer ASCs per capita than the national average, but commercially insured patients can find prices 27% to 57% lower in ASCs compared to hospital outpatient departments. Facilities like New England Baptist Hospital and Winchester Hospital are top-ranked for outpatient joint replacements. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
