Compare hospitals → What is substance use?
A hospital stay for alcohol or drug dependence, often to manage withdrawal, without a formal rehabilitation program during the stay. Care typically involves medications to ease withdrawal safely, monitoring, and treatment of related medical problems.
Substance Use is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 896 (with major complications), 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.
