Charges close to what care is actually paid for

How this grade was reached

Each component is scored against every other U.S. hospital in the same federal files, so the grade is a position in the country, not a pass mark we invented.

Inpatient charge markup 33.3/35

Better than 95% of U.S. hospitals.

Outpatient charge markup 12.5/25

Not published for this hospital — scored at 50% of the component rather than zero, because an absent figure is not a bad one.

Price level vs national median 27.8/30

Better than 93% of U.S. hospitals.

Price consistency 9.1/10

Better than 92% of U.S. hospitals.

What this page cannot tell you

  • It is not your bill. These are averages across Medicare patients. What you pay depends on your insurance, your plan's negotiated rate and your own case.
  • It is not a quality rating. A hospital with a high markup may be excellent, and one with a low markup may not be. We checked: across every U.S. hospital, markup and the CMS quality star rating barely move together.
  • A charge is not a cost. Hospitals do not collect their list charges from insured patients. The number matters because it is the opening figure on an uninsured or out-of-network bill.
  • Ask for the real number. Every U.S. hospital must publish a machine-readable price file and give you a written good-faith estimate on request.
