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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Massachusetts | 1 | $55,485 | $11,097 |
| Florida | 2 | $47,864 | $7,313 |
