What is bronchitis & asthma?

An asthma attack or bronchitis flare-up that needs inpatient care. Treatment typically includes breathing treatments, steroid medicines, and oxygen monitoring until breathing improves.

Bronchitis & Asthma is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 203 (without complications), classified within the Respiratory 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.
