What is infection requiring surgery?

A serious infection treated with an operation, such as surgery to remove infected tissue or drain an abscess, in patients who also have other health conditions. The stay includes the operation, IV antibiotics, and monitoring during recovery.

Infection Requiring Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 854 (with 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.
