What is stomach & esophagus surgery?

An operation on the stomach, esophagus, or the first part of the small intestine, such as repairing damage or removing diseased tissue. The stay covers the surgery, a gradual return to eating, and recovery.

Stomach & Esophagus Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 327 (with complications), classified within the Digestive 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.
