In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for gastrointestinal hemorrhage without complications (DRG 379) at 73 hospitals in the U.S. was billed at $34,090 on average, while the average total payment was $6,315, of which Medicare paid $4,436. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Among states with at least three hospitals reporting, the average total payment was highest in Georgia ($8,370), New York ($7,619), Maryland ($7,383) and lowest in Virginia ($5,170), Arizona ($5,253), Pennsylvania ($5,621).
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 5.4 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
