California hospitals price drug poisoning & toxic effects (Medicare DRG 917) anywhere from $4,694 to $171,688 — a $166,993 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Seneca District Hospital in Chester; the most expensive is Adventist Health Lodi Memorial (Acute Care) in Lodi. The state average sits at $71,569.
Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists drug poisoning & toxic effects at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent drug poisoning & toxic effects admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. California hospitals missing from the list either don't perform drug poisoning & toxic effects in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 917 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
