Surgery to remove or repair part of the small or large intestine, often for cancer, polyps, or diverticular disease. This version covers patients with an otherwise uncomplicated recovery focused on pain control and getting the bowel working again.
Major Bowel Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 331 (without complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
