In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for malignancy of hepatobiliary system or pancreas with major complications (DRG 435) at 23 hospitals in Illinois was billed at $78,659 on average, while the average total payment was $17,596, of which Medicare paid $14,089. 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 Illinois, average charges were 4.5 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
