Field notes
The homepage lists coverage across all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico, while distinguishing hospitals in scope from those with machine-readable files the project can read. Its method description says files are located through each hospital’s required cms-hpt.txt file and compared by billing code, setting, and charge type. It cautions that the figures are published prices, not estimates of an individual patient’s bill.
