Does anyone know the average cost per day to patient for ICU?

Somewhere around there....for a 24 hour period. If you add in a vent and drips it can easily double. A vent runs about 1200-1500 a day. Consider that a bad of Cardene may run$500 or more. Saving someones life and sending them home to their family is expensive.

I know that just for a patient (non-isolation) to occupy one of our ICU rooms, they are charged something like $900 a day. That doesn't include anything else but the room. Throw in monitoring, a vent, pumps, drips, labs, lines, x-rays, meds, and other misc. charges, and it's easily over $5K. $10K doesn't sound too far off... it really just depends on what's wrong with the patient and if they're having complications or not.

In my facility, an incintive spirometer is $250, Pulse ox is $150, admission kit is $150, IV tubing is $80, one dose of 650 mg of Tylenol is $10.
I was always told ICU rooms are averaging $10,000 to $20,000 per 24 hours
We are a non-for-profit facility and made $110 million last year.

In my hospital its need btw 500$ to 2000$ in 24 hrs if ther is no sugical interventions

What?! At my facility they cost maybe $10.

Nothing in ICU is $10. Oh...maybe a Q-tip.
I have to laugh at this thread. My husband was in a CCU 16 years ago and he got charged $37 for a "urinary care kit."
He was never catheterized. All he got was a plastic urinal.
Gotta love it.

Let me give you an idea of cost. In San Jose Ca, where I worked in the hospital in the ER, i developed a severe stomach ache after eating shrimp... went to my ED I received 4mg Zofran, 2 liters NS, had my blood drawn and got an ABD CT and left 4 hours later.... what was my bill $16,583. I could have stayed home and bought a really nice used car. The same CT scan in Alabama cost 3k where in Ca is cost 7k. Same machine. Hospitals charge what ever they can get away with. That is why some of the worste MD's are allowed to practice because they make the hospital money through felonious charges.
