18 Oklahoma hospitals publish gross charges for sepsis (DRG 872). Prices range from $3,559 to $90,371 — roughly $86,812 apart. The cheapest is Okeene Municipal Hospital in Okeene; the most expensive is Pawhuska Hospital Inc in Pawhuska. The state average sits at $20,726.

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 sepsis 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 sepsis 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. Oklahoma hospitals missing from the list either don't perform sepsis in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 872 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 sepsis. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 5–7 days):

Included in the hospital bill

  • Emergency department evaluation and sepsis workup
  • Inpatient room and continuous monitoring
  • IV antibiotics and fluids (often broad-spectrum until culture results return)
  • Blood cultures, lactate, and serial labs
  • Source-control procedures if needed (drainage, etc.)

Usually billed separately

  • Hospitalist, infectious-disease, and any specialty consultant fees
  • Outpatient antibiotics after discharge
  • Home health for any IV antibiotic continuation
  • Long-term rehab if sepsis caused weakness

Quality signals to check before picking a hospital

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

Sepsis Care Bundle (SEP-1)

The headline sepsis metric — measures how often hospitals deliver evidence-based sepsis care within strict time windows (antibiotics, fluids, repeat lactate).

Septic Shock 3-Hour Bundle

For the sickest sepsis patients, faster bundle completion saves lives.

Hospital-wide Mortality

Sepsis is the leading cause of in-hospital death. A hospital with strong overall mortality numbers is usually doing the right things for sepsis.

C. diff Infection Ratio

Sepsis treatment requires broad-spectrum antibiotics, which raises C. diff risk. Hospitals with low SIR control this better.

When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit

The list below sorts by price. For sepsis, 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.
