What does this mean?We compare each hospital's published prices to the federal government's fair-price benchmark (what Medicare pays for the same procedure). A hospital graded “A” charges close to that benchmark. A hospital graded “F” charges many times more. If you're uninsured or out-of-network, this directly affects your bill.
