Questions
How much does level 2 icd and similar procedures cost in Iowa?
In 2024 Medicare data, level 2 icd and similar procedures (APC 5232) at 17 hospitals in Iowa was billed at $106,233 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $28,523, of which Medicare paid $26,889. 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 Iowa, 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.
