Local pricing for 7 orthopedic surgeon services in Hilo, HI.
Hilo, HI Range
$140 – $91,000
Orthopedic surgery pricing has the widest spread of any specialty in this registry — a $200 office consult and a $60,000 total knee replacement live in the same vertical. The single biggest cost driver is setting-of-care: the same arthroscopic knee surgery costs $5K–$15K at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) but $10K–$25K at a hospital outpatient department (HOPD), and major joint replacements done inpatient at hospitals run $35K–$65K all-in (with facility fees comprising 60–75% of the bill). Surgeon professional fees themselves are a relatively small slice — $1,500–$8,000 for most major procedures. MRI imaging shows similar 3–5× HOPD-vs-independent-center spreads. Insurance covers virtually all medically-indicated orthopedic care; deductible exposure on major surgery commonly hits the $3K–$10K out-of-pocket maximum. Dollar prices are adjusted for HI cost of living (+40% vs. national average); percentage-based fees (commissions, rates, contingency) are largely federal/national and shown unadjusted.
