Compare hospitals → What is fever & inflammation?
A fever or body-wide inflammatory reaction that needs hospital care, often without an immediately clear cause. The stay typically involves tests to find the source, IV fluids, and medication.
Fever & Inflammation is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 864, classified within the Infection & Sepsis 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.
