What is surgery for infection after surgery or injury?

An operation to clean out or drain an infection that developed after an earlier surgery or injury. The hospital stay includes the procedure, IV antibiotics, and ongoing wound care.

Surgery for Infection After Surgery or Injury is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 857 (with 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.
