Compare hospitals → What is bone infection?
An infection inside a bone (osteomyelitis), treated with days of IV antibiotics in the hospital. Imaging and lab tests to identify the infection are a common part of the stay.
Bone Infection is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 540 (with 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.
