Hospital Price Engine

Price vs. cost — where the margin lives

Commercial prices against each hospital’s estimated cost to deliver, built from the same federal cost reports (HCRIS) regulators use. Statewide, the median hospital prices commercial care at 1.8× its estimated cost.

Median price as a multiple of estimated cost 1× = price equals cost

Cost estimates multiply published gross charges by each hospital’s operating cost-to-charge ratio from CMS cost reports — the standard MedPAC/NASHP method. They are estimates, not accounting truth: imaging and lab cells (where the hospital-level ratio is least precise) and data-flagged cells are excluded here, and hospitals with fewer than 5 usable cells are not shown. System attribution is name-based and approximate — corrections welcome at andrew@rexroadanalytics.com. Department-level cost ratios are a planned upgrade. Method details on the methodology page.
