In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for cardiac arrhythmia and conduction disorders with complications (DRG 309) at 48 hospitals in Virginia was billed at $28,403 on average, while the average total payment was $6,895, of which Medicare paid $4,607. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
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 Virginia, average charges were 4.1 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
