Stomach Ulcer Cost in North Carolina — Compare All Hospitals

A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or upper intestine that causes pain or discomfort. This category covers ulcers without bleeding or perforation. A stay typically involves acid-reducing medication, monitoring, and sometimes a scope exam of the stomach.

18 North Carolina hospitals publish gross charges for stomach ulcer (DRG 384). Prices range from $15,603 to $55,658 — roughly $40,055 apart. The cheapest is Harris Regional Hospital in Sylva; the most expensive is Wilson Medical Center in Wilson. The state average sits at $36,569.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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 stomach ulcer 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 stomach ulcer 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. North Carolina hospitals missing from the list either don't perform stomach ulcer in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 384 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.
