What is heart attack?

Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) with complications — discharged alive.

Heart Attack is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 281 (AMI with complications), classified within the Cardiovascular 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.
