A typical prosthetic limb costs anywhere between $15,000 and $90,000, depending on the type of limb desired by the patient. With medical insurance, a patient will typically pay 10%â50% of the total cost of a prosthetic limb, while the insurance company will cover the rest of the cost.
1 This includes the cost of the implants, which ranges from $1,000 to $1,300 as well as a facility fee of $800 to $1,200, an anesthesia fee of $600 to $800 and the surgeon's fee that averages $4,005 for silicone-gel filled implants and $3,583 for saline implants. Silicone-gel filled implants, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently re-approved for general use, require regular MRIs-three years after surgery and then every two years-to check for rupture. 2  MRIs cost $1,000 or more and probably will not be covered by insurance.
