Cardiac Catheterization Cost in Tennessee — Compare All Hospitals

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.

Tennessee hospitals price cardiac catheterization (Medicare DRG 286) anywhere from $12,347 to $98,558 — a $86,212 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Unity Medical Center in Manchester; the most expensive is Johnson City Medical Center in Johnson City. The state average sits at $74,091.

Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. 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 cardiac catheterization 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 cardiac catheterization 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. Tennessee hospitals missing from the list either don't perform cardiac catheterization in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 286 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.
