In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for major small and large bowel procedures without complications (DRG 331) at 17 hospitals in Ohio was billed at $67,674 on average, while the average total payment was $14,205, of which Medicare paid $10,176. 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 stay in Ohio, average charges were 4.8 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
