Compare hospitals → What is chest pain?
A hospital stay to evaluate chest pain and rule out a heart attack or other serious cause. It typically involves heart monitoring, repeated blood tests, and sometimes a stress test or heart imaging.
Chest Pain is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 313, 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.
