8 Texas hospitals publish gross charges for cardiac stent (DRG 247). Prices range from $34,628 to $147,661 — roughly 4×. The cheapest is Methodist Dallas Medical Center in Dallas; the most expensive is Paris Regional Health in Paris. The state average sits at $48,757.

The number you see is each hospital's published "list price" — the gross charge for the facility component of cardiac stent. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists cardiac stent at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

If you're scheduling cardiac stent in Texas, sort the list below by price, then click each hospital name to see its quality profile — CMS overall star rating, surgical-safety measures, readmission rates, patient-experience scores. The cheapest hospital isn't always the right call. Teaching hospitals often charge more because they take complex cases, and a higher-rated community hospital may deliver equivalent outcomes for a straightforward case at a lower price. Use the price column to narrow the field; use the quality data to make the final call.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Texas hospitals missing from the list either don't perform cardiac stent in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 247 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.

What this hospital charge usually covers

The gross-charge number above is the hospital's facility bill for cardiac stent. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 1–2 days (longer if part of a heart-attack admission)):

Included in the hospital bill

  • Cardiac catheterization lab time and equipment
  • Drug-eluting stent device (typically itemized)
  • Inpatient room and observation
  • Cardiac monitoring during recovery

Usually billed separately

  • Interventional cardiologist professional fee
  • Pre-procedure stress test, echocardiogram, or coronary CT angiography
  • Outpatient cardiac rehab program
  • Long-term antiplatelet medications (these are outpatient pharmacy)

Quality signals to check before picking a hospital

Price alone won't tell you which hospital does cardiac stent best. These are the CMS quality measures that matter most for this specific procedure. Click any hospital below for its full profile, then look for these:

Heart-Attack Mortality

Even for elective stenting, the hospital that handles emergent PCI well has the cath-lab team and protocols to manage rare complications.

Patient Safety Composite (PSI-90)

Captures bleeding, vascular complications, and other post-procedure events that affect cath-lab outcomes.

Heart-Attack Readmissions

Strong discharge planning and outpatient cardiology handoff matter — readmission usually means symptoms returned.

When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit

The list below sorts by price. For cardiac stent, the lowest price isn't automatically the best fit — these are situations where it's worth weighing additional factors against price. None of the below is medical advice; talk to your doctor about what applies to your specific situation.
