The same outpatient procedure can cost several times more at one hospital than another in the same metro, based on cash-discount prices across our dataset. In some cases the spread is 8x or wider, and at the top of the distribution the gap can be far more extreme. We track this across more than 1,100 procedure-and-metro combinations so you can see where the spread is widest before you book.
