Compare hospitals → What is lung cancer?
A hospital stay for cancer of the lung or airways, in patients who also have other serious health problems. Care focuses on managing symptoms such as breathing trouble, along with tests and treatment.
Lung Cancer is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 180 (with 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.
