What is kidney & ureter surgery (non-cancer)?

Surgery on the kidney or the tube that drains it (the ureter) for conditions other than cancer, such as blockages, stones, or structural problems. The stay covers the operation and recovery while kidney function and urine flow are monitored.

Kidney & Ureter Surgery (Non-Cancer) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 661 (without 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.
