The best hospitals charge less.

ClearPrice Health analyzes 200M+ payer-negotiated rates across 2,062 hospitals in 5 states — overlaying CMS quality ratings to reveal which hospitals deliver the best outcomes at the lowest cost.
5-star hospitals charge 46% less than 2-star hospitals for the same procedures.

Every data point traces back to a hospital’s federally mandated pricing file. We archive, normalize, and overlay quality ratings so you can compare what matters.
Quality and cost are inversely correlated.
Across 4,789 quality-scored hospitals, a consistent pattern emerges: the highest-rated facilities have the lowest negotiated rates. Mayo Clinic — 93% patient recommendation — consistently has among the lowest rates for common procedures.
This finding challenges the assumption that higher price means better care. ClearPrice makes this pattern visible and actionable.
Higher-rated hospitals cluster at lower cost. Lower-rated hospitals show higher, more erratic pricing.
