What is minor bowel surgery?

A smaller operation on the small or large intestine, such as removing or repairing a limited section, in patients without other complicating conditions. Recovery in the hospital focuses on the return of normal digestion before going home.

Minor Bowel Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 346 (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.
