How much does comprehensive observation services cost in Texas?
In 2024 Medicare data, comprehensive observation services (APC 8011) at 266 hospitals in Texas was billed at $27,955 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $2,445, of which Medicare paid $1,942. 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 service in Texas, average charges were 11.4 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
