hospital costs
Inpatient care expenses
Hospital costs are the expenses incurred in providing medical care at a hospital—from staffing and equipment to medications and facility maintenance.
The term appears frequently in healthcare policy debates and insurance discussions: Hospital costs have risen faster than inflation for decades.
For patients, hospital costs often refer specifically to what they're billed: The hospital costs for her surgery came to forty thousand dollars.
