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 medicine and monitoring rather than surgery. Care typically includes imaging, controlling symptoms like swelling or seizures, and planning next steps in treatment.
Brain & Nervous System Tumors is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 055 (without 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.
