Compare hospitals → What is cardiac arrest?
Emergency hospital care after the heart suddenly stops beating without an immediately clear cause. Doctors work to restart the heart, and when circulation is restored the stay involves intensive monitoring and testing to find and treat the underlying reason.
Cardiac Arrest is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 296 (with major complications), classified within the Cardiovascular 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.
