Compare hospitals → What is tracheostomy with long-term ventilation?
Placement of a breathing tube in the neck (tracheostomy) for patients who need a ventilator for an extended period. These are long, intensive stays with around-the-clock care, usually in an intensive care unit.
Tracheostomy with Long-Term Ventilation is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 004, classified within the Respiratory 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.
