Questions

How much does lymphoma and non-acute leukemia with major complications cost in New Jersey?

In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for lymphoma and non-acute leukemia with major complications (DRG 840) at 8 hospitals in New Jersey was billed at $202,172 on average, while the average total payment was $34,225, of which Medicare paid $29,543. 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 New Jersey, average charges were 5.9 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
