11 Connecticut hospitals publish gross charges for bleeding or perforated ulcer (DRG 382). Prices range from $14,482 to $51,592 — roughly $37,111 apart. The cheapest is Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport; the most expensive is Hartford Hospital in Hartford. The state average sits at $29,910.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists bleeding or perforated ulcer at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent bleeding or perforated ulcer admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.

7 of the 11 ranked hospitals are teaching hospitals — academic medical centers that train medical residents. They tend to take higher-acuity patients than community hospitals, which often pushes both their CMS star ratings down and their gross charges up. For complex or rare presentations a teaching hospital may genuinely be the better clinical choice even at the higher price. For a routine case, a high-rated community hospital can deliver equivalent outcomes for less.
