What is bone & muscle surgery?

A surgical procedure on bones, muscles, or connective tissue that doesn't fall into a more specific category. The stay includes the operation and recovery care.

Bone & Muscle Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 517 (without 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.
