Question 1

How many cities does ProcedureRadar cover?

Accepted Answer

ProcedureRadar currently covers 100 metropolitan areas across the United States, including all 25 of the largest by population. Each metro page lists hospitals reporting pricing data under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR Part 180), with procedure-level cost breakdowns you can filter by insurance type.

Question 2

How are metropolitan area boundaries defined?

Accepted Answer

Each metro area is defined by a central city and a radius measured in miles. Hospitals within that radius are included in the metro listing. This approach mirrors how patients actually search for care: by proximity to a familiar city name, not by formal census boundaries. The radius varies by metro density, so a compact market like San Francisco uses a tighter radius than a sprawling market like Dallas-Fort Worth.

Question 3

Can I compare prices between cities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Navigate to a specific procedure page (for example, "MRI Cost in New York") and use the "Other Cities" sidebar to see how pricing compares in different metros. You can also use the search page to look up the same procedure in multiple cities and compare median prices, price ranges, and the number of hospitals reporting data in each market.
