What is alcohol or drug dependence?

Hospitalization for alcohol or drug abuse or dependence without inpatient rehabilitation therapy and without major complications — typically a short detox stay.

Alcohol or Drug Dependence is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 897 (without rehab therapy, without major complications), classified within the Mental Health & Substance Use diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
