What is multiple sclerosis & ataxia?

A hospital stay for a flare-up or worsening of multiple sclerosis or a coordination disorder called ataxia. Care typically includes medicines such as steroids, help with symptoms, and therapy evaluations.

Multiple Sclerosis & Ataxia is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 059 (with complications), 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.
