What is lung & breathing disorders?

Breathing or lung problems that don't fit a more specific category. The stay usually involves oxygen support as needed, breathing treatments, and tests to find the cause.

Lung & Breathing Disorders is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 206 (without major complications), classified within the Respiratory 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.
