Itâs easy to underestimate how much medical care can cost: 1  Fixing a broken leg can cost up to $7,500. 2  The average cost of a 3-day hospital stay is around $30,000. 3  Comprehensive cancer care can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1 Spinal cord injury was the most expensive type of injury, with an average hospital cost per stay of $38,800 and a mean length of stay of 12.7 days. 2  However, these hospitalizations accounted for less than 1 percent of all injury-related hospital stays. The average cost per hospital inpatient stay in 2005 was $7,900, up an average of 5.7 percent annually since 1997. 2  After adjusting for inflation, the aggregate costs for all stays in community hospitals increased at a 5.1-percent average annual rate from 1997 to 2005.
