What is connective tissue disorders?

Hospital care for autoimmune and connective tissue conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or vasculitis. The stay usually involves medications to control inflammation and treatment of any organs affected.

Connective Tissue Disorders is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 545 (with major complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal 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.
