Kidney Failure Cost in Missouri — Compare All Hospitals
The kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and fluid from the blood, either suddenly or as a worsening of chronic disease. Treatment typically involves IV fluids, adjusting medications, and frequent lab tests to track kidney function.
Data notes for Missouri
- The lowest published charge ($3,096 at Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital) is unusually low for an inpatient stay. This may reflect a data-quality issue in the hospital's MRF rather than an actual price — verify directly with the hospital before relying on it.

Missouri hospitals price kidney failure (Medicare DRG 684) anywhere from $3,096 to $29,332 — a $26,236 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital in Sullivan; the most expensive is Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital in Saint Peters. The state average sits at $15,008.
Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. 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 kidney 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 kidney 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. Missouri hospitals missing from the list either don't perform kidney failure in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 684 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.
