19 Kentucky hospitals list a gross charge for sepsis with prolonged ventilator support under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $135,506 to $502,086. The cheapest is Taylor Regional Hospital in Campbellsville; the most expensive is Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital (Acute Care) in Somerset. The state average sits at $217,732.
What's published is the gross charge — the starting point, not what you'd actually owe. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists sepsis with prolonged ventilator support at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent sepsis with prolonged ventilator support admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Kentucky hospitals missing from the list either don't perform sepsis with prolonged ventilator support in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 870 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
