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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | 2 | $80,522 | $7,025 |
| Florida | 1 | $75,880 | $5,157 |
