How much does other cerebrovascular disorders with complications cost in Georgia?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for other cerebrovascular disorders with complications (DRG 071) at 23 hospitals in Georgia was billed at $43,911 on average, while the average total payment was $11,208, of which Medicare paid $8,897. 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 Georgia, average charges were 3.9 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
