Nebraska hospitals price pathological fractures & bone cancer (Medicare DRG 542) anywhere from $26,498 to $61,228 — a $34,730 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is St Francis Memorial Hospital in West Point; the most expensive is Nebraska Medicine Bellevue Health Center in Bellevue. The state average sits at $44,790.

Gross charges are the hospital's list price for the facility part of your stay — the room, operating-room time, nursing, and equipment. 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 Nebraska, 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. Nebraska hospitals missing from the list either don't perform pathological fractures & bone cancer in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 542 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.
