Questions people ask

What do U.S. hospitals charge for Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major Operating Room?

Across 24 U.S. hospitals, the middle charge for Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major Operating Room is $131,893. Half of hospitals charge less than that and half charge more. The cheapest quarter charge under $101,829 and the dearest quarter over $176,494.

Why do hospitals charge such different amounts for the same procedure?

Because a hospital charge is a list price it sets itself, not a regulated rate. For Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major Operating Room, the hospitals in the dearest tenth charge about 2.7x what the cheapest tenth charge for the same coded work. Insurers negotiate their own rates from those lists, which is why the charge and what is actually paid can be very far apart.

Is that what I would actually pay?

No. $31,684 is roughly what Medicare actually paid per case, against an average charge of $149,565. If you have insurance, your plan pays a negotiated rate and you pay your deductible and coinsurance. If you are uninsured or out of network, the hospital's charge is where your bill starts — which is why the gap matters. Ask for a written good-faith estimate before treatment.

What this code covers

CMS records this work as MS-DRG 827: “MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS OR POORLY DIFFERENTIATED NEOPLASMS WITH MAJOR O.R. PROCEDUR”.

Before you are billed

Ask for a written good-faith estimate — you are entitled to one if you are uninsured or paying yourself.
Check the hospital's machine-readable price file; every U.S. hospital must publish one.
If you are insured, ask whether every provider involved is in network — the surprise usually comes from the ones you never met.
