Medicare DRG 013. What hospitals charge and what Medicare pays, 2024.
The "charge" is the hospital's list price — almost nobody pays it. "Total payment" is what the hospital actually received (Medicare plus patient copays and other payers). These figures cover Medicare fee-for-service inpatient stays only.
| State | Hospitals | Avg charge | Avg Medicare payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama | 1 | $148,185 | $17,720 |
