Compare hospitals → What is infection after surgery or injury?
An infection that developed after an operation or an injury and requires surgery to clean out infected tissue. The stay includes the operation and IV antibiotics.
Infection After Surgery or Injury is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 856 (with major complications), classified within the Infection & Sepsis 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.
