Compare hospitals → What is alcohol & drug use (left against medical advice)?
A hospital stay for alcohol or drug use problems in which the patient chose to leave before doctors recommended discharge. Care during the stay typically focuses on safe withdrawal and stabilization.
Alcohol & Drug Use (Left Against Medical Advice) is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 894, classified within the Mental Health & Substance Use 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.
