Compare hospitals → What is stomach & esophagus surgery?
Surgery on the stomach, esophagus, or the first part of the small intestine, such as repairing a hiatal hernia or treating severe reflux. The stay includes the operation and a gradual return to eating as the digestive tract heals.
Stomach & Esophagus Surgery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 328 (without 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.
