What is blocked brain artery without stroke?

A hospital stay for a blocked or narrowed artery supplying the brain that has not caused a stroke. Care typically includes brain imaging, tests of the arteries and heart, and medicines to reduce the chance of a future stroke.

Blocked Brain Artery Without Stroke is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 068 (without major complications), classified within the Nervous System 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.
