What this means for you
This is the facility fee Morton Plant Hospital contracts to accept from each insurer for Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implant with MCC (DRG 243). It covers the hospital's portion of the bill — the room, nursing, equipment, and OR.
Not included: Surgeon fees, anesthesiologist fees, and specialist fees are billed separately — typically adding 20–40% to the total.
Your actual cost depends on where you stand with your deductible. Before your deductible is met, you pay the full contracted rate. After, you pay your coinsurance percentage.
