What is atherosclerosis?

Plaque buildup that narrows the arteries, including the arteries that supply the heart, often evaluated after chest pain. The stay usually involves heart monitoring, imaging tests, and medication adjustments.

Atherosclerosis is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 303 (without major complications), classified within the Cardiovascular diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.

Data current as of 2026-10-10.
