In 2024 Medicare data, level 3 vascular procedures (APC 5183) at 91 hospitals in Georgia was billed at $23,347 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $2,821, of which Medicare paid $2,236. 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 service in Georgia, average charges were 8.3 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
