Compare hospitals → What is infection requiring surgery?
A serious infection that requires an operation as part of treatment, such as surgery to remove infected tissue or drain an abscess. The stay involves the operation plus IV antibiotics and close monitoring, often in intensive care.
Infection Requiring Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 853 (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.
