Check What Your Hospital Charges
Select your hospital, then search for the procedure you had. We'll show you what they charge, what it's actually worth, and what insurance companies pay.
How Hospital Pricing Works
Every US hospital is required by federal law to publish their prices in a machine-readable file. We've collected and analyzed pricing data from over 5,000 hospitals nationwide. This tool lets you look up what any hospital charges for specific procedures — and compare it to what the government considers a fair price and what insurance companies actually pay.
Why the “Government Benchmark”?
Medicare (the federal health insurance program) determines a fair price for every medical procedure based on its complexity, time, and resources required. While hospitals can charge whatever they want, the Medicare rate is the closest thing to an objective “this is what the work is actually worth.” Most experts agree a fair price for uninsured patients is 1.5-3x the Medicare rate.
What should I do if I'm overcharged?
If your bill exceeds the hospital's own published cash rate or what insurance companies pay for the same service, you have strong grounds to dispute it. Use our bill analyzer to automatically compare every line item and generate a dispute letter citing specific data.
