Hospital Procedure Prices
Compare published prices for common hospital procedures. All data is sourced from CMS-mandated price transparency files that hospitals are required by federal law to publish.
How to Use This Page
Every hospital in the United States is required to publish a machine-readable file containing their prices for all items and services. This requirement, known as the CMS Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR Part 180), has been in effect since January 2021. As of April 2026, enforcement has been strengthened with penalties of up to $5,500 per day for non-compliant hospitals.
We download these files, extract pricing for common procedures, and present the data so you can compare costs across hospitals and insurance plans. Each procedure page shows the hospital's gross charge (list price), cash/self-pay discount, and the negotiated rates published for specific insurance plans.
The prices shown are facility fees only. For most procedures, you will also receive a separate bill from the physician who performs the procedure. Contact your insurer or the hospital billing department for a complete cost estimate.

The facility fee is typically one of several bills you will receive after an ER visit.

How We Source This Data
We download hospital pricing files directly from hospital websites. These files are published under the CMS Price Transparency Rule and contain thousands of line items for procedures, drugs, and supplies. We extract pricing for common procedures and present it without modification.
We check each hospital's file for changes twice weekly (Monday and Thursday). Every pricing page shows when the hospital last updated their file and when we last accessed it. If a file has not been updated for more than 90 days, we display a warning on affected pages.
