Compare hospitals → What is respiratory infection?
An infection or inflammation deep in the lungs, such as aspiration pneumonia or a lung abscess. Hospital care typically involves IV antibiotics, oxygen if needed, and monitoring of breathing.
Respiratory Infection is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 179 (without complications), 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.
