What is bleeding or perforated stomach ulcer?

An ulcer in the stomach or upper intestine that has started bleeding, broken through the wall, or caused a blockage. The hospital stay usually involves IV acid-reducing medicines, blood transfusions if needed, and often an endoscopy to find and treat the problem.

Bleeding or Perforated Stomach Ulcer is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 381 (with complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
