What is bone infection?
An infection inside a bone (osteomyelitis), which requires long courses of IV antibiotics and sometimes procedures to remove infected tissue. The stay involves antibiotics, imaging, and close monitoring.
Bone Infection is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 539 (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.
