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.

|---|---|---|---|
| North Carolina | 1 | $65,202 | $12,256 |
| Florida | 1 | $58,474 | $8,808 |
