Compare hospitals → What is post-surgery & wound infections?
An infection that develops after an operation or an injury, such as an infected surgical incision or wound. The hospital stay typically involves IV antibiotics, wound care, and monitoring while the infection clears.
Post-Surgery & Wound Infections is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 862 (with major complications), classified within the Infection & Sepsis 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.
