Cirrhosis & Alcoholic Hepatitis Cost in South Carolina — Compare All Hospitals

South Carolina hospitals price cirrhosis & alcoholic hepatitis (Medicare DRG 433) anywhere from $48,966 to $53,815 — a $4,850 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Cannon Memorial Hospital in Pickens; the most expensive is Novant Health East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant. The state average sits at $51,085.

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 cirrhosis & alcoholic hepatitis at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

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. South Carolina hospitals missing from the list either don't perform cirrhosis & alcoholic hepatitis in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 433 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.
