What is heart valve infection (endocarditis)?
An infection of the heart's inner lining or valves, known as endocarditis, which is serious and requires hospital care. The stay typically involves IV antibiotics, blood tests, and heart imaging to check the valves.
Heart Valve Infection (Endocarditis) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 288 (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.
