Questions
How much does seizures without major complications cost in the U.S.?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for seizures without major complications (DRG 101) at 885 hospitals in the U.S. was billed at $50,860 on average, while the average total payment was $9,853, of which Medicare paid $7,313. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Which states pay the most and least for seizures without major complications?
Among states with at least three hospitals reporting, the average total payment was highest in Maryland ($13,760), New York ($12,627), California ($12,287) and lowest in Arkansas ($7,074), Montana ($7,157), Kentucky ($7,313).
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.
