Hospital & Healthcare Management February 21, 2023
It is well to be noted that the prices of surgical procedures happen to be significantly higher across the healthcare facilities within the networks than in independent hospitals, as per research from JAMA Network Open that was published on February 13.
To be more specific, the median price of a shoulder arthroscopy costs around $4432 at network hospitals, whereas in independent setups it is valued at $2643. There are also major variations that are seen in terms of negotiated prices across facilities, as per the study. The hospitals within a network charge $1446 more for knee cartilage removal than independent hospitals. The median price for prostatectomy in a hospital network happens to be $996 more than that at independent hospitals.
