Compare hospitals → What is lung & chest surgery?
An operation involving the lungs or chest, such as removing diseased tissue or draining fluid from around the lungs. The stay includes surgery, chest tubes, and close breathing monitoring.
Lung & Chest Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 166 (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.
