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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | 1 | $83,666 | $8,517 |
| Pennsylvania | 1 | $54,154 | $10,241 |
