The Healthcare
Revolution
At Midwest Bone and Joint Center, we believe in price transparency, honesty, fairness and above all – exceptional care with successful outcomes. Transparency provides consumers with the information and the incentive to choose healthcare providers based on value, which is both quality and price.
Did you know there can be up to 400% variance in cost between providers of healthcare — regardless of the quality of care? In many cases, you are paying for facility overhead and non-profitable services (such as ERs), that are not directly associated with your procedure.
THE PROBLEM:
It is nearly impossible to learn the costs for procedures in advance. Each component of the procedure is billed separately. There is no way to verify quality
THE SOLUTION:
A trusted provider committed to providing exceptional quality care with successful outcomes with a transparent, up-front and all-inclusive pricing structure.

Pricing Disclaimer
NOTE:
If you are scheduled for surgery at our facility and we are filing insurance for you, the prices listed on this website do not apply. The prices for the procedures listed on this website include the facility fee, the surgeon’s fee and the anesthesiologist’s fee. The initial consultation with the surgeon is also included. The $200 initial consultation fee is applied to the total cost of the procedure should surgery be indicated. If surgery is not indicated the $200 will be retained by us. Our goal is for the price to be as transparent as possible. A list of what is NOT included in the fee is as follows:
Any diagnostic studies necessary prior to the surgery such as lab, MRI, X-rays, consultations with specialists to determine medical risk/management, physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Any hardware or implants necessary for completion of the procedure (plates and screws, e.g. for orthopedic procedures). This price information will be provided prior to surgery but subsequent to the surgical consultation. Our experienced surgical staff knows with almost certainty what will be needed to complete your surgery and this hardware or implants will be provided to you at invoice cost without any markup whatsoever. Copies of the invoices will be provided to you.
Lodging and travel expenses are not included in the price of the procedures. Expenses or fees resulting from complications subsequent to the completion of the surgery and discharge from the facility are also not included. The list of procedures on this website is a partial list of procedures available in this pricing model. If the procedure you believe you require is not listed on this website, please call to inquire about availability and pricing. The prices listed are not negotiable and are available only to those who pay the entire amount in advance. We are able to offer these prices due to the lack of expense in processing the claims and the absence of risk for non-payment. Alternative payment arrangements can be made with human resource departments or divisions of self-insured entities if necessary.
Once again, if you are scheduled for surgery at our facility and insurance is to be filed by us, these prices listed on our website do not apply.
