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.

|---|---|---|---|
| California | 1 | $160,703 | $18,071 |
| New York | 1 | $146,538 | $13,261 |
