What is skin ulcers?

Open skin wounds such as pressure sores (bedsores) that need hospital-level care. The stay involves wound cleaning, special dressings, and treatment of any infection.

Skin Ulcers is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 592 (with major complications), classified within the Skin 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.
