How much does other major cardiovascular procedures with complications cost in Texas?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for other major cardiovascular procedures with complications (DRG 271) at 33 hospitals in Texas was billed at $226,613 on average, while the average total payment was $31,128, of which Medicare paid $25,417. 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 Texas, average charges were 7.3 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
