What is major heart & blood vessel surgery?

Major surgery on the heart or blood vessels, such as repairing an aneurysm or implanting a device, that does not fall into a more specific category. The stay includes the operation and closely monitored recovery.

Major Heart & Blood Vessel Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 271 (with complications), classified within the Cardiovascular 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.
