DRG 156 · General Symptoms

Ear, Nose & Throat Disorders Cost in California — Compare All Hospitals

A hospital stay for ear, nose, mouth, or throat problems that do not fit other categories, without complicating conditions. Care typically involves testing, medicines, and monitoring of symptoms such as pain, swelling, or trouble swallowing.

California hospitals price ear, nose & throat disorders (Medicare DRG 156) anywhere from $3,744 to $84,091 — a $80,347 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Coalinga Regional Medical Center in Coalinga; the most expensive is Washington Health in Fremont. The state average sits at $39,507.

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 ear, nose & throat disorders 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 ear, nose & throat disorders 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 ear, nose & throat disorders in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 156 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.
