What is nerve surgery?

Surgery on nerves in the limbs, face, or head, or on other parts of the nervous system, such as repairing a damaged nerve or relieving pressure on one. The stay includes the operation and monitored recovery.

Nerve Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 040 (with major 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.
