15 North Carolina hospitals publish gross charges for pathological fractures & bone cancer (DRG 544). Prices range from $2,614 to $38,068 — roughly $35,454 apart. The cheapest is Randolph Hospital in Asheboro; the most expensive is UNC REX Hospital in Raleigh. The state average sits at $28,531.
The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of pathological fractures & bone cancer. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists pathological fractures & bone cancer at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
If you're scheduling pathological fractures & bone cancer in North Carolina, sort the list below by price, then click each hospital name to see its quality profile — CMS overall star rating, surgical-safety measures, readmission rates, patient-experience scores. The cheapest hospital isn't always the right call. Teaching hospitals often charge more because they take complex cases, and a higher-rated community hospital may deliver equivalent outcomes for a straightforward case at a lower price. Use the price column to narrow the field; use the quality data to make the final call.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. North Carolina hospitals missing from the list either don't perform pathological fractures & bone cancer in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 544 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
