Pneumonia Cost in Texas — Compare All Hospitals
Hospitalization for simple pneumonia and pleurisy with complications — one of the most common medical admissions.
What this hospital charge usually covers
The gross-charge number above is the hospital's facility bill for pneumonia. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 3–5 days):
Included in the hospital bill
- Inpatient room and respiratory monitoring
- IV antibiotics and oxygen therapy
- Chest imaging, blood cultures, and routine labs
- Respiratory treatments (nebulizers, etc.) during the stay
Usually billed separately
- Hospitalist and infectious-disease consultant professional fees
- Pulmonologist consultation if required
- Outpatient antibiotics after discharge
- Follow-up chest imaging
Quality signals to check before picking a hospital
Price alone won't tell you which hospital does pneumonia best. These are the CMS quality measures that matter most for this specific procedure. Click any hospital below for its full profile, then look for these:
Pneumonia Mortality (30-day)
How often patients hospitalized for pneumonia survive 30 days. The headline pneumonia outcome.
Pneumonia Readmissions
Strong discharge planning, the right outpatient antibiotic, and follow-up reduce returns to the hospital.
Sepsis Care Bundle
Severe pneumonia can become sepsis. Hospitals with strong sepsis-bundle compliance catch and treat it early.
When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit
The list below sorts by price. For pneumonia, the lowest price isn't automatically the best fit — these are situations where it's worth weighing additional factors against price. None of the below is medical advice; talk to your doctor about what applies to your specific situation.
- For patients with weakened immunity (chemotherapy, transplant, HIV), a hospital with infectious-disease specialists on staff may handle complex cases better.
- For severe pneumonia that may require ICU care, a hospital with a closed-staffed ICU is generally better equipped.
Questions to ask your hospital or insurer
The gross charge is the starting point. These are the procedure-specific questions to ask before you commit:
- Will any of my physicians be out-of-network?
- What outpatient antibiotic is prescribed, and is it covered?
- When is the follow-up chest X-ray, and where will it be done?
Data notes for Texas
- The lowest published charge ($4,123 at Sweeny Community Hospital) is unusually low for an inpatient stay. This may reflect a data-quality issue in the hospital's MRF rather than an actual price — verify directly with the hospital before relying on it.

32 Texas hospitals publish gross charges for pneumonia (DRG 194). Prices range from $4,123 to $48,186 — roughly $44,063 apart. The cheapest is Sweeny Community Hospital in Sweeny; the most expensive is Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas. The state average sits at $33,239.
These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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 pneumonia at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent pneumonia admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Texas hospitals missing from the list either don't perform pneumonia in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 194 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.
