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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nevada | 1 | $206,831 | $13,374 |
| California | 1 | $115,176 | $20,625 |
