Arthroscopic Surgery Costs

  The cost of arthroscopic surgery varies from nearly $10,000 to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the procedure, whether an internal fixation is placed, or a simple diagnostic test.  If the procedure is a simple joint cavity cleaning, the cost is nearly 10,000 RMB, while if it is a meniscal repair or ligament reconstruction, the cost is tens of thousands of RMB because of the specific materials used. The cost may also vary depending on the region and level of hospital.  Post-arthroscopic recovery also varies depending on the condition and individual differences, and the recovery time, which may result in certain costs such as review examination fees and medication including oral medication and topical medication. This can range from $1,000 to $10,000.  For your own illness, medical insurance can reimburse part of the cost of surgery, and for overall hospitalization costs, it can largely offset part of the cost, about 10%-70%. For cases caused by accidental injuries, the reimbursement rate is limited, but if you have commercial insurance, the cost of surgery can be partially offset. The exact cost is determined by the contract and type of insurance purchased.  The cost of arthroscopic surgery generally accounts for a large portion of the overall hospitalization cost. If you have medical insurance or commercial insurance, the percentage of personal payment is much less and the burden is less.
