Questions people ask
What do U.S. hospitals charge for Traumatic Injury without Major Complications?
Across 9 U.S. hospitals, the middle charge for Traumatic Injury without Major Complications is $61,023. Half of hospitals charge less than that and half charge more. The cheapest quarter charge under $47,259 and the dearest quarter over $68,963.
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 Traumatic Injury without Major Complications, the hospitals in the dearest tenth charge about 1.8x 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. $9,904 is roughly what Medicare actually paid per case, against an average charge of $59,092. 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 914: “TRAUMATIC INJURY WITHOUT MCC”. A DRG covers a whole inpatient stay rather than a single item, so the charge includes the room, the procedure and the care around it. Codes that mention complications carry a different, usually higher price.
