In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for esophagitis, gastroenteritis and miscellaneous digestive disorders without major complications (DRG 392) at 188 hospitals in California was billed at $66,799 on average, while the average total payment was $9,888, of which Medicare paid $7,531. 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 California, average charges were 6.8 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
Source: CMS, Medicare Inpatient Hospitals by Provider and Service, 2024. Average total payment includes Medicare's payment, the patient's deductible and coinsurance, and any other payer. CMS omits hospitals with fewer than 11 hospital stays for privacy. About the data.
