What affects the price

Structural and contractual factors that move the price for this code — not clinical reasons.

Inpatient stays are bundled by MS-DRG — most hospital services land in a single negotiated payment, though independent physicians may still bill separately.
In-network vs out-of-network status — out-of-network claims rarely use the negotiated rates shown here.
Facility fee — many hospitals add a separate facility fee in addition to the procedure rate; ask explicitly when calling.
Bundled vs unbundled billing — the rate may or may not include radiology read, anesthesia, or pathology. Ask which professional services are included.

What to do next

Ask the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate — under the federal No Surprises Act, hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written estimate for scheduled care. If you're insured, ask your insurer for your expected cost-sharing in advance, confirm the hospital is in-network, and bring your insurance card.

Common questions

Short answers, derived from the data on this page. See the full FAQ for site-wide questions.

How much does Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With MCC cost in Colorado?

Across 43 Colorado hospitals that publish a commercial negotiated rate, the median is $12,743. The middle half of hospitals fall between $10,872 and $16,921 — the 25th-to-75th percentile of per-hospital medians.

Is the doctor's fee included in these prices?

For inpatient stays like this one, the price is bundled per admission — most hospital services land in one payment. The physicians who treat you (your surgeon, or the anesthesiologist) may still bill separately depending on how the hospital employs them. Ask whether physician fees are included before you schedule.

Does insurance change what I'd pay?

Yes. The negotiated rate depends on which insurer and plan you have, and what you actually pay depends on your deductible, coinsurance, and whether the hospital is in your network. Colorado hospitals publish negotiated rates for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With MCC under 81 different payer names. Verify coverage with your insurer before scheduling. Choose your insurance carrier above the hospital table to see per-insurer rates.

What's the cash price for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With MCC if I don't have insurance?

The median discounted cash price across reporting Colorado hospitals is $14,295. Hospitals are required to publish any discounted cash price they offer self-pay patients — often less than the gross "chargemaster" charge but typically more than the lowest negotiated rate — the per-hospital table on this page shows the full spread.

Is this a price quote?

No. These are rates hospitals have published under the federal price-transparency rule — they show what insurers have negotiated, not what you will be billed. Your bill depends on your plan, deductible, in-network status, and clinical circumstances. Verify the price with the hospital and confirm coverage with your insurer before scheduling.

What are my rights if the bill doesn't match?

If you're uninsured or paying cash, the federal No Surprises Act gives you the right to a written Good Faith Estimate before scheduled care — and if the final bill is at least $400 over that estimate, you can dispute it. Most insured patients are also protected from surprise bills for emergency care and certain out-of-network care at in-network facilities.
