20 Texas hospitals publish gross charges for ecmo or tracheostomy with ventilation (DRG 003). Prices range from $140,225 to $976,242 — roughly 7×. The cheapest is Doctors Hosptal at Renaissance in Edinburg; the most expensive is Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas. The state average sits at $656,005.
These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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. Texas 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.
