13 Virginia hospitals publish gross charges for copd (DRG 190). Prices range from $24,177 to $73,325 — roughly $49,148 apart. The cheapest is Bath Community Hospital in Hot Springs; the most expensive is Sovah Health - Danville in Danville. The state average sits at $35,701.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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 copd at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent copd admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Virginia hospitals missing from the list either don't perform copd in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 190 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 copd. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 4–7 days):

Included in the hospital bill

  • Inpatient room and respiratory monitoring
  • Oxygen therapy and (if needed) BiPAP or ventilator support
  • IV steroids, antibiotics, and nebulizer treatments
  • Chest imaging and routine labs during admission

Usually billed separately

  • Pulmonologist and hospitalist professional fees
  • Outpatient pulmonary rehab program
  • Home oxygen equipment after discharge
  • Long-term inhaler maintenance medications

Quality signals to check before picking a hospital

Price alone won't tell you which hospital does copd 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:

COPD Mortality (30-day)

How often patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbation survive 30 days.

COPD Readmissions

COPD is among the most-readmitted conditions. Strong discharge planning and pulmonary rehab referral lower this.

When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit

The list below sorts by price. For copd, 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.
