What is depression?
Hospital care for depression when symptoms become severe enough to need round-the-clock support. The stay involves a safe, supervised setting, medication management, and therapy.
Depression is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 881, classified within the Mental Health & Substance Use 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.
