How accurate is this? Some of the threads point out extremes between different hospitals, is that because X hospital does more stuff then Y, and Y charges you the same as X it's just a bunch of hidden/extra stuff that isn't billed as "MSDRG 343"? Or is it because the hospital like any business can charge you what ever you want and may charge more or less depending on the neighbourhood, rent, etc?
- ageitgey 6y agoI think part of it is that there is a huge difference in cost between some facilities. But another part of it is that a lot of hospitals don't really know what they charge. They had to scramble and hire consultants to come up with these numbers to meet the deadline and the numbers will probably get more accurate and vary less over time as hospitals get better used to working with prices out in the public.
