Questions
How much does cardiac valve and other major cardiothoracic procedures without cardiac catheterization cost in Michigan?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for cardiac valve and other major cardiothoracic procedures without cardiac catheterization (DRG 220) at 6 hospitals in Michigan was billed at $199,991 on average, while the average total payment was $56,122, of which Medicare paid $44,079. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
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 Michigan, average charges were 3.6 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
