Field notes
The stated workflow starts with ordinary-language procedure search rather than medical codes, then separates cash prices from rates negotiated by insurers. The homepage reports coverage across 48 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, and links to a methodology page for limitations. It also points readers to plain-English guides on hospital bills and possible free care; the extracted evidence does not show the guide contents.
