Compare hospitals → What is stroke?
A stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain. Hospital care includes brain imaging, close monitoring, and in some cases a clot-dissolving drug (tPA) given soon after symptoms start, followed by early rehabilitation planning.
Stroke is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 065 (with complications or clot-busting treatment), 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.
