Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Replacement in Bend

How do I choose the best shoulder replacement surgeon in Bend?

Bend has specialized shoulder surgeons ranked by Medicare volume.

Medicare covers 80% of shoulder replacement costs after your deductible. Typical out-of-pocket costs range from $1,500-$4,500 depending on procedure complexity and facility. Bend surgeons who participate in Medicare help control costs through standard fee schedules.
