9 Kentucky hospitals list a gross charge for bleeding or perforated stomach ulcer under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $41,251 to $83,481. The cheapest is Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital in Greenville; the most expensive is Jackson Purchase Medical Center in Mayfield. The state average sits at $53,093.
What's published is the gross charge — the starting point, not what you'd actually owe. 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 stomach 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 stomach 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.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Kentucky hospitals missing from the list either don't perform bleeding or perforated stomach ulcer in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 380 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
