What is bone disease & arthritis?

Hospital care for bone diseases and joint problems, such as a severe arthritis flare or a bone-thinning disorder, in patients who also have major complicating conditions. Care typically involves pain control, medicines, imaging, and help with mobility.

Bone Disease & Arthritis is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 553 (with major complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal 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.
