What is cardiac catheterization?

A hospital stay for a heart problem other than a heart attack that includes cardiac catheterization, where doctors thread a thin tube into the heart's arteries to look for blockages. Patients in this group have other serious conditions that require extra care during the stay.

Cardiac Catheterization is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 286 (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.
