What is sepsis with prolonged ventilator support?

A life-threatening infection that has spread through the bloodstream, severe enough to require a breathing machine for more than four days. Care takes place in intensive care with IV antibiotics, fluids, and close monitoring of organ function.

Sepsis with Prolonged Ventilator Support is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 870, 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.
