What is copd?

A flare-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a long-term lung condition that makes breathing difficult. Hospital care typically includes inhaled breathing treatments, steroids, oxygen if needed, and monitoring until breathing improves.

COPD is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 192 (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.

Data current as of 2026-10-10.
