    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.

    11
    $11,395
    $10,921.25

  • Hysterectomy ?
    30
    $11,179
    $14,622.40
    A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and in some cases, the ovaries as well. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed to treat uterine fibroids, noncancerous tumors that grow in the muscles of the uterus.

    $11,439
    $6,373.95
    Hysteroscopy is a procedure to lookinside the uterus in order to diagnose and treat disorders inside the uterus. The most common reason to use a hysterscope is for abnormal bleeding. Treatments performed with hysteroscopy are considered minor and minimally invasive.

    $12,866
    $11,608.57
    Shoulder arthroscopy is a procedure to fix damaged ligaments, tendons and muscles in the shoulder joint. Similar to knee arthroscopes, these surgeries are performed by inserting tubes through a small incision in the skin. Rotator cuff damage and shoulder impingement are the most common reasons for shoulder arthroscope surgery.
  • Upper Endoscopy ?
    82
    $3,580
    $2,710.05
    An upper endoscopy is a surgical examination of the stomach or small intestines using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the mouth or nose and down the throat to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor.

  • Cardiovascular: Echocardiography ?
    79
    $870
    $1,354.14
    An echocardiograph, or echo, is a special type of ultrasound used to examine the heart. An echo uses sound waves to generate images of the heart to diagnose heart diseases and evaluate heart function. Echos can also be used to measure the volume of blood that is moving through the heart and blood vessels.
  • Cardiovascular: Electrocardiography ?
    35
    $220
    $170.80
    Electrocardiography, or ECG, is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart. In the standard ECG test, ten electrodes are placed on a patient's chest and limbs. The rhythm of the heartbeat is recorded as a graph of the voltage the heart produces as it beats. Doctors use the graph to evaluate problems with normal rhythm of the heart.
  • Ultrasound ?
    156
    $509
    $343.38
    An ultrasound, or sonography, is a method of creating images using sound waves. A device emits sound at an extremely high frequency and then records the sound waves as they reflect off structures in the body. A computer interprets those sound waves and creates an image. Ultrasounds listed here do not include specialized ultrasounds such as echocardiographs or fetus examinations as it relates to pregnancy
  • X-ray: Abdomen/GI ?
    43
    $251
    $148.00
    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.
  • X-ray: Chest ?
    173
    $256

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 listed are for x-rays of the chest.

• Heart Attack

  Show/Hide Overview
  A heart attack (also called AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These measures show some of the process of care provided, if appropriate for most adults who have had a heart attack. The outpatient Heart Attack or Chest Pain measures apply to patients transferred to an acute care facility for a higher level of care. For more information, click on the column headings.
