What is groin hernia repair?

Surgery to repair a hernia in the groin, where tissue bulges through a weak spot in the lower abdominal wall. The stay covers the repair operation and initial recovery.

Groin Hernia Repair is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 351 (with 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.
