What's published is the gross charge — the starting point, not what you'd actually owe. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists heart failure at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent heart failure admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Oregon hospitals missing from the list either don't perform heart failure in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 292 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.

What this hospital charge usually covers

The gross-charge number above is the hospital's facility bill for heart failure. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 4–6 days):

Included in the hospital bill

  • Inpatient cardiac monitoring
  • IV diuretics and other heart-failure medications during admission
  • Echocardiogram and other cardiac imaging
  • Routine labs (BNP, electrolytes, kidney function)

Usually billed separately

  • Cardiologist and hospitalist professional fees (billed separately)
  • Outpatient cardiology follow-up after discharge
  • Cardiac rehab program (if indicated)
  • Long-term medications (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, SGLT2 inhibitors)

Quality signals to check before picking a hospital

Price alone won't tell you which hospital does heart failure best. These are the CMS quality measures that matter most for this specific procedure. Click any hospital below for its full profile, then look for these:

Heart-Failure Mortality (30-day)

How often patients admitted for heart failure survive 30 days. The headline outcome.

Heart-Failure Readmissions

Heart failure is the most-readmitted condition in U.S. hospitals. Lower means better discharge planning and outpatient care coordination.

Patient Experience (HCAHPS)

Clear discharge communication on weight monitoring, fluid limits, and medication timing prevents many readmissions.

When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit

The list below sorts by price. For heart failure, the lowest price isn't automatically the best fit — these are situations where it's worth weighing additional factors against price. None of the below is medical advice; talk to your doctor about what applies to your specific situation.
