What is lung cancer & chest tumors?

A hospital stay for cancer or tumors of the lung or airways, often to manage symptoms like breathing trouble, fluid buildup, or infection. Care can include oxygen, medications, and procedures to ease breathing.

Lung Cancer & Chest Tumors is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 181 (with 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.
