How Much Does Partial Knee Replacement Cost With Insurance?
Often zero on a hospital plan. Shortfalls on professional fees vary by plan and gap cover.
Because knee replacement is a Prescribed Minimum Benefit, your medical aid pays the hospital and implant in full on most hospital plans. The variable cost is professional fees — surgeon, anaesthetist, physiotherapist — which may attract a shortfall depending on your plan's rate.
Typical shortfalls range from R0 to R25 000 in total, often covered by gap cover insurance. Our rooms send you a written quote and the pre-authorisation outcome before surgery so the financial picture is clear in advance.
If a shortfall is unaffordable, talk to us — payment plans can be arranged with the practice for the surgeon's portion.
