Hospital Prices by City

The CMS Price Transparency Rule requires every hospital operating in the United States to publish a machine-readable file containing their standard charges. These files include gross charges (list prices), cash/self-pay discounts, and negotiated rates with specific insurance plans.

Hospital pricing files are typically large (often tens or hundreds of megabytes) and formatted for machine processing, not human reading. We download these files, extract pricing for common procedures, and present the data in a format you can use to compare costs across hospitals and insurance plans within a city.

Each hospital page shows the source file URL so you can access the original data. We are not affiliated with any hospital or healthcare provider, and we display pricing data as published without editorial modification.

By comparing prices across hospitals in the same city, patients can see the range of costs for common procedures. Cash prices, insurance negotiated rates, and gross charges can all differ significantly between hospitals just miles apart. Understanding these differences can help you ask better questions when discussing costs with your provider or insurer.
