Compare hospitals → What is collapsed lung?
A collapsed lung (pneumothorax) happens when air leaks into the space around the lung. Treatment often involves a small chest tube to remove the air so the lung can re-expand, with monitoring until breathing improves.
Collapsed Lung is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 201 (without complications), classified within the Respiratory 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.
