Compare hospitals → What is bowel obstruction?
A blockage in the intestines that stops food and fluid from passing through. Treatment usually involves resting the bowel with intravenous fluids, and sometimes a tube through the nose to relieve pressure, while the blockage clears.
Bowel Obstruction is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 390 (without complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
