In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for other cerebrovascular disorders with major complications (DRG 070) at 16 hospitals in Tennessee was billed at $50,727 on average, while the average total payment was $13,177, of which Medicare paid $11,018. 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 Tennessee, average charges were 3.8 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
