Inpatient coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries per 100,000 persons, 2021, and estimated cost per inpatient CABG surgery by insurance type, U.S. dollars, 2022
Note: U.S. utilization data is from AHRQ HCUP. OECD utilization data was unavailable for Japan. OECD estimate for Australia includes inpatient, outpatient, and day cases. The U.S. public cost estimate is for traditional Medicare. Cost estimates represent the total cost of a hospitalization for a CABG surgery without complications (with cardiac catheterization and bypassing only one artery, if specified by the data source). Data used to determine Medicare prices in the U.S. exclude physician fees, which likely understate the difference in prices between the U.S. and peer nations.
