What is cardiac catheterization?
A hospital stay for a heart problem other than a heart attack, during which doctors thread a thin tube into the heart's arteries to look for blockages or other issues. Most patients are monitored briefly and go home soon after the test.
Cardiac Catheterization is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 287 (without 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.
