CashPrice · what hospitals actually charge cash-pay patients — normalized from the federal price-transparency files

What does it actually cost cash, without insurance?

Hospitals are federally required to publish a machine-readable file of every price — including the cash / self-pay rate. The files are huge and unreadable, so almost nobody uses them. We normalize them into one clean answer per procedure. 7 hospitals 30 procedures 109 stated cash prices
