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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | 1 | $202,232 | $24,435 |
| Kentucky | 1 | $103,150 | $24,756 |
