Compare hospitals → What is kidney stones?
Stones in the kidney or urinary tract causing pain, blockage, or infection, managed without major surgery during this stay. Care typically involves pain control, IV fluids, and imaging to track the stone.
Kidney Stones is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 694 (without major complications), classified within the Kidney & Urinary 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.
