Hospital price transparency
See what a procedure costs before you get it
Every U.S. hospital now publishes its prices. We turn those files into clear, sourced, comparable numbers — especially useful if you’re paying cash.
Start with a common procedure
We’re adding procedures and metros in waves. Available now:
- MRI cost in Los Angeles, CA — cash prices across local hospitals
- MRI cost (national overview)
How it works
- Hospital price file We download each hospital’s official machine-readable file (MRF).
- Parse & normalize We read the standardized CMS data and key it to the procedure’s billing code.
- Compare hospitals We line up the published prices across hospitals in the same area.
- Sourced range We publish a dated range, with every number linked to its source file.
Every number links back to the hospital file it came from, with the date we ingested it. See our methodology.
Informational only. Prices are estimates from published hospital data and may not
reflect your final bill. Not medical, legal, or insurance advice. Confirm with the provider and your insurer.
