Compare hospitals → What is prolonged ventilator support?
A serious lung or breathing condition that requires a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) for more than four days. This involves intensive care with continuous monitoring and breathing support.
Prolonged Ventilator Support is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 207, 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.
