What is hand & wrist surgery?

Surgery on the hand or wrist, such as repairing broken bones or damaged tendons, in patients who also have conditions that add complexity to their care. The stay covers the operation, pain management, and the start of hand recovery.

Hand & Wrist Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 513 (with complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal 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.
