Compare hospitals → What is gi obstruction?
A blockage in the intestines that keeps food and fluid from passing through, causing pain, bloating, and vomiting. Treatment usually involves resting the bowel, a tube to relieve pressure, and IV fluids, with surgery if the blockage doesn't clear.
GI Obstruction is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 388 (with major complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
