Compare hospitals → What is bone & joint disease?
A painful flare-up of a bone or joint condition, such as severe arthritis, gout, or a bone disorder, managed without surgery. The stay usually involves pain control, medications, imaging, and physical therapy to get moving again.
Bone & Joint Disease is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 554 (without 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.
