No.
All the websites that I've researched this question at don't give the pricing, but I would think of it to be very expensive. If you want an exact price I suggest going to your surgeon and asking him/her how much it cost.

The more commonly used name for it is "Tommy John Surgery". Its actually called UCL or Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction. It is a procedure where a ligament in the elbow is replaced with a ligament from elsewhere in the body. It was named after a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher named of course, Tommy John, who was the first to successfully go through the surgery.
