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.

|---|---|---|---|
| New York | 2 | $104,473 | $10,273 |
| Delaware | 1 | $30,652 | $7,086 |
