What is stroke?

A stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain. Hospital care includes brain imaging, monitoring, medicines to lower the chance of another stroke, and early rehabilitation planning.

Stroke is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 066 (without complications), classified within the Nervous System 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.

Data current as of 2026-10-10.
