Brain & Nervous System Tumors Cost in Mississippi — Compare All Hospitals

5 Mississippi hospitals publish gross charges for brain & nervous system tumors (DRG 055). Prices range from $6,736 to $33,828 — roughly $27,092 apart. The cheapest is Yalobusha General Hospital & Nursing Home in Water Valley; the most expensive is Methodist Healthcare - Olive Branch Hospital in Olive Branch. The state average sits at $23,711.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists brain & nervous system tumors at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent brain & nervous system tumors admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Mississippi hospitals missing from the list either don't perform brain & nervous system tumors in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 055 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
