What is major bowel surgery?

Surgery to remove or repair part of the small or large intestine, often for cancer, diverticulitis, or a blockage. The stay includes the operation followed by several days of recovery in the hospital while the bowel starts working again.

Major Bowel Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 330 (with 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.
