Michigan hospitals price ecmo or tracheostomy with ventilation (Medicare DRG 003) anywhere from $319,291 to $1,039,678 — a $720,387 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Mclaren Port Huron in Port Huron; the most expensive is University of Michigan Health-West in Wyoming. The state average sits at $536,954.
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 ecmo or tracheostomy with ventilation 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 ecmo or tracheostomy with ventilation 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. Michigan hospitals missing from the list either don't perform ecmo or tracheostomy with ventilation in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 003 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.
