Questions
How much does cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis with major complications cost in the U.S.?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis with major complications (DRG 432) at 544 hospitals in the U.S. was billed at $104,714 on average, while the average total payment was $20,680, of which Medicare paid $16,645. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Which states pay the most and least for cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis with major complications?
Among states with at least three hospitals reporting, the average total payment was highest in New York ($30,857), California ($28,385), Maryland ($27,485) and lowest in Mississippi ($14,950), Arkansas ($15,322), Oklahoma ($16,584).
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 5.1 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
