Every US hospital is required to publish its negotiated rates. Almost no one can read them. ClearPrice reads them at national scale — 560.4M negotiated rates served for instant query across all 50 states — and fuses them with how well hospitals actually care for patients. Below is a working sample. Your market is in here.
Pick a procedure. Each dot is a state's median negotiated rate — the same care, priced by geography. And state medians flatter the chaos: hospital-to-hospital, the same procedure can spread up to 25× nationally.
Medians exclude hospitals we have identified restating list prices as negotiated rates. City-level prices: see the cost explorer →
Every dot is a hospital: its price percentile against its CMS star rating. If quality set prices, the cloud would climb to the right. It doesn't — the medians barely move. The green zone is where value lives: top-rated care, bottom-third prices.
Thick ticks mark the median price percentile at each star rating — near-identical at every tier.
We benchmark every commercial negotiated rate against what Medicare pays for the identical service at the identical hospital. Darker means your plan dollars stretch less. If you sponsor a health plan, this is the map your renewals never show you.
Click a state to make it your market. 1.0× = Medicare pays it. Built from IPPS, OPPS and PFS benchmarks matched rate-by-rate.
Price index by state and service line, where 100 is the national median. Your market pins to the top row — see exactly which service lines drive its costs.
Every rate is read from a hospital's own machine-readable file, published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. We don't estimate, extrapolate, or impute prices.
Hospitals we have identified restating list prices as negotiated rates are excluded from the medians on this page. Fabricated and duplicate rate patterns are detected and excluded before any number is published.
