All insurance that covers traditional hip replacement cover the robotic hip replacement. There should be no additional cost incurred to the patient for using robotics during hip replacement surgery. Nevertheless, it is best to inquire with your hospital if the hospital charges more to do a robotic hip replacement than what is covered by your insurance.
The hospital may decide to charge more for robotic hip replacement because they have to recover cost of equipment and there is additional work involved by the surgical team. The robotic hip replacement does require more work for the surgeon and the assistants. There is preoperative planning involved in robotic hip replacement.
Additional work is needed intraoperatively for placing pins into the pelvis for registration of the pelvis with the computer. the pins in the pelvis need to be removed after the surgery. Additionally, the surgical wound at the pin site needs to be closed. Most of the additional work is intraoperatively, when the surgeon registers the pelvis for the robot to recognize the 3 dimensional geometry of the hip.
