Compare hospitals → What is extreme prematurity or newborn breathing problems?
Care for newborns born extremely early or with underdeveloped lungs (respiratory distress syndrome). These babies are cared for in a neonatal intensive care unit with breathing support, warmth, and feeding assistance.
Extreme Prematurity or Newborn Breathing Problems is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 790, classified within the Respiratory 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.
