What is digestive system surgery?

An operation on the stomach, intestines, or other digestive organs that doesn't fall into a more specific surgical category. The stay includes surgery and a recovery period with a gradual return to eating.

Digestive System Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 356 (with major complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
