Charges close to what care is actually paid for

Inpatient charge markup 33.3/35

Better than 95% of U.S. hospitals.

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

Better than 82% 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.
