What this is

Every hospital has to post its prices. Almost no one looks. We gathered them so you can.

Type in the care you need. Add your ZIP code. See what each place near you charges.

Who it helps

  • You have no health plan, so you pay the whole bill yourself.
  • You have a high deductible, so you pay the first few thousand dollars.
  • You got a bill and it looks too high.
  • You want to know the cost before you book.

How to use it

  1. Type what you need. A scan, a blood test, a surgery.
  2. Add your ZIP code.
  3. Look at the list. Prices for the same care can differ a lot.
  4. Call and ask for the cash price. Tell them you saw it on their price list.

Already got a bill you cannot pay?

Most nonprofit hospitals have a plan to lower or drop bills for people who earn under a set amount. The hospital picks that amount. It files the number with the government each year.

We show you that number for your hospital, and the words to use when you ask.

It is free. You do not sign up. We never sell your name.
