Questions
How much does septicemia or severe sepsis with ventilator >96 hours cost in Indiana?
In 2024 Medicare data, a hospital stay for septicemia or severe sepsis with ventilator >96 hours (DRG 870) at 18 hospitals in Indiana was billed at $229,368 on average, while the average total payment was $54,108, of which Medicare paid $48,426.

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 Indiana, average charges were 4.2 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
