What is breast cancer?

Hospital care for breast cancer or problems it causes, managed with medicine and supportive care rather than surgery during this stay. Care may include treating symptoms, infections, or other effects of the cancer.

Breast Cancer is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 597 (with major complications), classified within the Infection & Sepsis 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.
