Compare hospitals → What is mini-stroke (tia)?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA), or "mini-stroke," in which blood flow to part of the brain is briefly blocked and stroke-like symptoms resolve on their own. The stay focuses on brain imaging, heart monitoring, and starting medications to prevent a future stroke.
Mini-Stroke (TIA) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 069, classified within the Nervous System 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.
