- The site limits its comparisons to outpatient facility charges and dates each hospital’s published prices.
Field notes
The homepage organizes comparisons by procedure and city, with CPT codes, hospital counts, price ranges, and an example for Houston. It says the figures come from hospital price files published under federal requirements and that each hospital’s publication date is shown. The page reports weekly checks and 230,524 insurer plan rates compared; its stated scope is outpatient facility charges, not a complete account of every cost associated with care.
