  • Abdominal Drainage ?
    18
    $13,457
    $12,807.16
    Percutaneous abdominal drainage is the placement of a small plastic tube to be used as a drain in the abdominal cavity. This is most commonly used to treat abscesses or fluid buildup in the abdomen as a result of disease or infection. Percutaneous abdominal drains are also be used to treat blockages in the urinary system.
  • Appendectomy ?
    25
    $18,195
    $18,669.59
    An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a small organ located on the lower portion of the small intestine on the right side of the body. This is most commonly a laparoscopic surgery. A laparoscopic surgery is a method of surgery that uses instruments inserted through small incisions. These types of surgeries are considered minimally invasive, because they do not require a large open incision. This results in less overall damage to the body, decreased healing times, reduced pain and a lower risk of infection. Appendectomies are performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
  • Blood Transfusion ?
    50
    $20,079
    $20,635.81
    A packed cell transfusion is the procedure used to provide a red blood cell transfusion to a patient for the treatment of blood diseases, most typically anemia. Blood transfusions are also used to treat sickle cell disease, parasitic infections, and to restore blood in the event of hemorrhage.
  • Bowel Removal ?
    65
    $39,428
    $38,150.34
    Bowel removal surgeries, also known as colorectal resection, are procedures to remove portions of the colon or large intestine due to disease. The most common reason is colon cancer.
  • Brain Excision ?
    46
    $46,050
    $52,667.28
    A brain excision, or brainlobectomy, is a procedure to remove all or part of a brain structure due to disease or injury. The most common reason is for treatment of seizures or epilepsy. In some cases, the procedure can be used in traumatic head injuries to increase the chance of improved recovery.
  • Central Line ?
    85
    $20,980
    $26,225.96
    A central venous catheter or central line is a procedure to place a catheter, or thin hollow tube, into a large vein in the body for use in long term therapy such as chemotherapy or dialysis. This is typically done in the chest, neck or upper thigh. Central lines are placed to treat the cause of hospitalization — and in many cases — left in place to facilitate the continuation of treatment in the outpatient setting.

    88
    $18,365
    $18,365.44
    Treatment of cancer using specialized drugs
  • Coronary Bypass ?
    43
    $75,848
    $79,527.99
    Coronary artery bypass surgery is a procedure used to perform a bypass of one or many coronary arteries of the heart that are blocked. This is performed by diverting the existing artery, or by harvesting a vein out of the patient’s leg and attaching it to the blocked artery to create a bypass. This procedure is most often an open-heart surgery requiring a stay of four to five days in the hospital.
  • Disc Excision ?
    28
    $25,973
    $23,412.25

  • Gallbladder Removal ?
    57
    $25,631
    $24,590.32
    Gallbladder surgery is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is most commonly due to the presence of hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder known as gall stones. Like appendectomies, gallbladder surgery is most often performed as a laparoscopic surgery. Gallbladder surgery is performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
  • Heart Catheterization ?
    58
    $17,869
    $19,295.43
    Heart catheterization is the use of thin hollow tubes, or catheters, to examine the inside of the heart and blood vessels around the heart. Heart catheters may also be used to inject dye for use in imaging, or to collect samples of heart muscle. Heart catheters are inserted into the large veins in the leg, arm or neck and threaded through the blood vessels toward the heart. Doctors observe the advancement of the catheter using a special x-ray camera called a fluoroscope.
  • Heart Valve Replacement ?
    27
    $79,338
    $96,010.86
    Heart valve replacement surgery is a procedure to replace or repair one of the four valves in the heart that control the flow of blood. Heart valve surgery is an open-heart procedure that requires an extended hospital stay. During this procedure, the patient is attached to a heart-lung machine, which continues to cycle blood and oxygen though the patient. The heart is then stopped with a process called cardioplegia, allowing the replacement to be performed on a still, unbeating, heart.
  • Hemodialysis ?
    11
    $23,166
    $17,459.48
    Hemodialysis, commonly called kidney dialysis or simply dialysis, is a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally.

  • Hernia Repair ?
    45
    $25,717
    $25,717.49
    Hernia surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia in the body. A hernia is created when an organ pushes through the wall of the body cavity that normally holds it in place. Hernias most commonly occur in the abdomen, with portions of the bowel pushing through the muscle wall. Hernia repairs are performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
  • Hysterectomy ?
    74
    $20,861
    $20,515.46
    A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and in some cases, the ovaries as well.

  • Kidney Removal ?
    11
    $31,051

    50
    $24,413
    $28,890.01
    Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a procedure to repair a bone fracture using surgery. Plates and screws are used to align and secure broken and displaced bones. Like closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) procedures reported earlier, ORIF surgeries occur in the inpatient setting as a part of care related to larger trauma events, such as a car accident. However, ORIF surgeries are used for more severe fractures that cannot be aligned using CRIF procedures.
  • PTCA ?
    69
    $32,930
    $36,445.07
    Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a procedure to open up narrowed coronary arteries by inflating a small balloon inside the artery. This is a specific type of heart catheterization performed in the inpatient setting. The act of opening the blocked artery often results in some damage to the vessel and requires the patient to be monitored for a day or two. In some cases, PTCA is used as an immediate treatment to patients experiencing a heart attack. PTCA is used as an alternative to coronary bypass surgery.
  • Skin incision and draining ?
    16
    $24,591
    $17,448.76

Strips of bone are removed from the patient's pelvis and used to form a bridge across two vertebrae. When the grafts heal, the result is a permanent fusion of the bones. Spinal fusion is used in cases of spinal instability either due to injury or disease that degenerates the discs in the back.
  • Spinal Tap ?
    27
    $20,973
    $18,255.13
    A spinal tap, also called a lumbar puncture, is a procedure to extract fluid from around the spinal cord using a needle placed in between the vertebrae in the spine.

This injection is usually performed with a local anesthetic and with additional imaging to guide the needle placement. It is most commonly performed on the shoulder to diagnose fine damage to the rotator cuff muscles, but is also done on the hip, knee, ankle and elbow. After the injection, x-ray, MRI or CT images are collected. Arthrography is separated from other imaging because the injection procedure is performed in the operating room.

    An x-ray is a method of imaging the body by exposing it to a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. Special undeveloped film is placed behind the body part that is to be imaged. The x-ray machine then emits radiation toward the body and film, causing the film to develop. More dense areas of the body — such as bones — absorb or block more of the radiation, causing those areas of the film to be more underdeveloped, thus creating a detailed image of the bones. The paid amounts featured are for x-rays of the abdominal and pelvic area.
