Questions
How much does gastrointestinal obstruction with major complications cost in Illinois?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for gastrointestinal obstruction with major complications (DRG 388) at 27 hospitals in Illinois was billed at $57,186 on average, while the average total payment was $15,323, of which Medicare paid $10,835. 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 Illinois, average charges were 3.7 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
