Wow interesting. For example, the Knee Replacement (Total Knee Replacement) surgery at Lowell general hospital is listed as $1,794 which seems super low. Then at St Elizabeth's its $42,000. Is it possible that different hospitals are including different services and medical devices under the same procedure? I can't imagine compensating a surgeon, anesthetist, etc for $1794 not to mention the cost of the knee replacement part.
