What is stroke?

A stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain, accompanied by other serious medical problems. Care involves rapid brain imaging, close monitoring in a stroke or intensive care unit, and early rehabilitation once the patient is stable.

Stroke is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 064 (with major 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.
