Questions
How much does cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with complications cost in the U.S.?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with complications (DRG 309) at 1,656 hospitals in the U.S. was billed at $36,238 on average, while the average total payment was $7,238, of which Medicare paid $5,247. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Which states pay the most and least for cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with complications?
Among states with at least three hospitals reporting, the average total payment was highest in Hawaii ($11,385), Maryland ($9,940), New York ($9,530) and lowest in Vermont ($5,252), Arkansas ($5,527), Kentucky ($5,768).
Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments?
Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this stay in the U.S., average charges were 5.0 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
