Collapsed Lung Cost in California — Compare All Hospitals
Air leaking into the space around a lung, causing part or all of it to collapse. Treatment usually involves oxygen and often a small chest tube to let the lung re-expand.
Data notes for California
- The lowest published charge ($3,817 at Huntington Hospital (Acute Care)) is unusually low for an inpatient stay. This may reflect a data-quality issue in the hospital's MRF rather than an actual price — verify directly with the hospital before relying on it.

California hospitals price collapsed lung (Medicare DRG 200) anywhere from $3,817 to $203,584 — a $199,767 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Huntington Hospital (Acute Care) in Pasadena; the most expensive is Adventist Health Glendale (Acute Care) in Glendale. The state average sits at $65,563.
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 collapsed lung 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 collapsed lung 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. California hospitals missing from the list either don't perform collapsed lung in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 200 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.
