Questions
How much does other major cardiovascular procedures with complications cost in the U.S.?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for other major cardiovascular procedures with complications (DRG 271) at 392 hospitals in the U.S. was billed at $173,238 on average, while the average total payment was $33,561, of which Medicare paid $28,049. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Which states pay the most and least for other major cardiovascular procedures with complications?
Among states with at least three hospitals reporting, the average total payment was highest in Maryland ($50,524), California ($43,150), New York ($42,493) and lowest in Mississippi ($23,851), Arkansas ($24,238), Alabama ($26,307).
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 the U.S., average charges were 5.2 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
