Compare hospitals → What is brain & nervous system tumors?
A hospital stay for a tumor of the brain, spinal cord, or nerves that is managed with medicines and monitoring rather than surgery during this admission. Care often includes imaging, drugs to reduce swelling, and seizure prevention.
Brain & Nervous System Tumors is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 054 (with major complications), classified within the Nervous System 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.
