What is heart failure?

Hospitalization for heart failure with major comorbidities or complications, often involving fluid overload, low ejection fraction, or arrhythmia.

Heart Failure is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 291 (with major 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.

Data current as of 2026-09-05.
