What is soft tissue surgery?

Surgery on muscles, tendons, or other soft tissues, such as removing a growth or repairing damaged tissue. The stay includes the operation and monitoring of the surgical site during early healing.

Soft Tissue Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 502 (without complications), classified within the Musculoskeletal 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.
