Knee arthroscopy

US hospitals must publish their prices by law. We take them from each hospital's own file. They're what hospitals charge, not what patients told us they paid, and not a quote.

Hospitals are compared on the same billing code, but what each one includes in that price can differ. Doctors, anesthesia and some tests are often billed separately and aren't included.

For insurance, we show what most plans pay the hospital, leaving out the very lowest and highest. Your own share depends on your plan.

What each hospital calls it: Providence Medical Center, “Knee Arthroscopy/Surgery - 29881 - OR36029881”; St. Joseph Medical Center, “Knee Arthroscopy/Surgery - 29881 - OR36029881”; St. Mary's Medical Center, “Knee arthroscopysurgery - 29881 -”; Ascentist Hospital, “PR KNEE ARTHROSCOPY/SURGERY 29881 BILAT”; Belton Regional Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; Cass Regional Medical Center, “ARTHRS KNE SRG MNISECTMY M/L”; Centerpoint Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; Lafayette Regional Health Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; Lee's Summit Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; Menorah Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; NKC Health, “ARTHROSCOPY, KNEE, SURGICAL; WITH MENISCECTOMY (MEDIAL OR LATERAL, INCLUDING ANY MENISCAL SHAVING) INCLUDING DEBRIDEMENT/SHAVING OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE (CHONDROPLASTY), SAME OR SEPARATE COMPARTMENT(S), WHEN PERFORMED”; Overland Park Regional Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”; Research Medical Center, “Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial OR lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s)”.
