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 | 1 | $547,246 | $47,828 |
| Virginia | 1 | $88,739 | $27,393 |
